Hmm, I guess trying to interpret a last seen date that is prior to 01/01/1601 could be considered to be a bug I guess, yes. It's not something that I really considered would be an issue, but it certainly appears that a date prior to this can appear in the netstumbler log files.

I'll be adding some tests for these sort of dates & defaulting them to something a little less 'historical' when it finds them.

I'm guessing here, but I suspect that the date for last seen / first seen in the Netstumber log file is being set based on the GPS. The reason I say this is because later on in the log file your GPS appears to have burped, setting its altitude to -2000 meters and the date to something around the early 17th century. It seems to have set itself right again shortly thereafter, but I guess I need to cater for wierdness like this (the GPS I use - a Magellan Meridian and a Fortuna U2 don't seem to have this issue)

I'll post again once I have a new version for you (and anyone else interested)
