  java.util.SimpleTimeZone.getOffset works wrong when it is invoked with
illegal values of its arguments: e.g. when values are greater than maximum
or less than minimum value of an appropriate java.util.Calendar field.

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

public class GetOffsetTest {

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

    try {
      tz.getOffset(Integer.MIN_VALUE, 1998, 1, 1, 1, 12 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

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

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