java.util.GregorianCalendar.setGregorianChange(Date cutover) fails with
Date(Long.MAX_VALUE).

Javadoc says about setGregorianCalendar

    To obtain a pure Julian calendar, set the change date to
    Date(Long.MAX_VALUE).


But after call setGregorianChange(Date(Long.MAX_VALUE)) the calendar isn't still
a pure Julian.


Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-----------------Test.java------------------------
import java.util.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main (String args[]){
      GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar();
      calendar.setGregorianChange(new Date(Long.MAX_VALUE));
        // to obtain a pure Julian calendar

      boolean is100Leap = calendar.isLeapYear(100);
      if (is100Leap) {
        System.out.println("test passed");
      } else {
        System.out.println("test failed");
        System.out.println(" cutover date is Date(Long.MAX_VALUE)");
        System.out.println(" isLeapYear(100) returns: " + is100Leap);
      }
    }
}
---------Output from the test---------------------
test failed
  cutover date is Date(Long.MAX_VALUE)
  isLeapYear(100) returns: false
