Last Modified Date does not display correctly

[George]

FileZilla client does not appear to interpret large directories correctly. Instead of showing the correct date it will show an erroneous date like 1/1/970. This only appears to be happening on larger directories that are 15 meg in size.

Actually, I'm getting something similar, but it doesn't appear to have anything to do with size of directories. For windows VMs it's using the creation date as the epoch.

For instance, we created a new VM on May 22. So files uploaded today show January 17, 1970

For Unix, RHEL and Solaris, the timestamp is fine. Here are the logs comparing WinVM and Solaris with both 3.2.4.1 and 3.2.5 rc
