OK, the above command results as "invalid date". It makes no sense to interpret
large integers as "invalid date", simple heuristics suggest it would be a Unix
timestamp although it's impossible to specify this explicitly due to the design
of date program.
It would be useful to be able to give unix timestamps to date from shell
scripts rather than having to fiddle around with div and mod.
"It's probably a unix timestamp" is a more rational response from the program
than "invalid date" which is useless, being unable to read dates it generates
itself is something of a failure.
