Hello!

OK, problem identified. Someone/somewhere had misconfigured machine (?) 
and thus generated weird date cert:

$ mtn ls certs cdf1680ec496d22f863184a
<cut>
Key   : address@hidden (475055ec71...)
Sig   : ok
Name  : date
Value : 1969-12-25T17:04:08
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

and looks like localtime on woe32 can't cope with this - thus returning 
0 from localtime call.

Recap: failing test case:

$ mtn log --from cdf1680ec496d22f863184a --last 1
