However, I wonder if there's something wrong with tcl itself,
considering this:
% clock format 1360558800 -format %D
02/11/2013
% clock scan 02/11/2013 -format %D
time value too large/small to represent
That's a bit strange - it seems tcl can format a timestamp, but then
can't read it back in for some reason ...
