as.Date() , feature or bug?

Well, bug, if you really want to call it a bug that you cannot represent
the year 6666. ;-)

So I guess we need a warning message and a line in help(as.Date)?
Even better a fix (than an *error* message), since the POSIX classes can 
handle the date and I do not (yet) see the reason why Date cannot. But I 
have no time to dig deeper (at least not this week).
