It may be due to an internal limitation of your operating system; 
looking up the "convert" command in the Rev docs reveals that the 
convert command uses date/time routines provided by the operating 
system, with the implication that some operating systems can only 
handle dates after a certain year.  Maybe with yours it is 1935.

Which operating system are you using?
