  java.uti.SimpleTimeZone.setStartYear(int) works wrong when it is invoked with
an invalid year value: an int less than minimum or greater than minimum value of
Calendar.YEAR field.

Here is a test demonstrating the bug.
---------------SetStartYearTest.java---------
import java.util.SimpleTimeZone;

public class SetStartYearTest {

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    SimpleTimeZone tz = new SimpleTimeZone(0, "stz");

    try {
      tz.setStartYear(Integer.MIN_VALUE);

      System.out.println("Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown");
    } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
      System.out.println("Passed");
    }
  }
}

---------The test output--------
> java SetStartYearTest
Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown
