Summary: PyTime.Format kills Python interpreter

Initial Comment:
When using win32all-163 following session causes hard
crash.

C:\Python23>python
Python 2.3.2 (#49, Oct  2 2003, 20:02:00) [MSC v.1200
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> import pywintypes
>>> t = pywintypes.Time(-1223123)
>>> t
<PyTime:12/30/1899 12:00:00 AM>
>>> t.Format('%d-%b-%Y')

See attached DrWatson log file

I came accross this error when retrieving dates from
MSAcces database and trying to convert it into
something I can load into Oracle.
It seems that the dates before epoch cause this.

Looks like the crash was fixed in pywin32 build200.
It generates ValueError now
