date error in Q-files

It seems that the starttimes of traces are not handled correctly when writing to Q-files using the st.write(file, format='Q') and when the starttime of the trace is before 1970.

In this case 100 years are added to the starttime in the output file, e.g. 1969,12,31 --> 2069,12,31.

I am using obspy 0.10.

Hi Dirk,

this is a problem of reading, not writing. See
https://github.com/obspy/obspy/blob/master/obspy/io/sh/core.py#L628-L632.
I assume you have a file with "year" stored with two digits only.
Nothing we can do in that case.

best,
Tobias
