Description
The following code snippet produces an invalid UTC string
>>> import gammalib
>>> t=gammalib.GTime('JD 2436913')
>>> print t.utc()
1972-01--4404T11:59:18
Note that according to the method documentation the
GTime::utc() method is only valid for dates from year 1972 on. This is probably at the origin of the feature. Some code could be implemented that corrects the date for negative seconds.
Recurrence

I added the following code to GTime::utc to cope with times before 1972:
while (day < 0) {
year--;
days = days_in_year(year);
day += days;
}
>>> import gammalib
>>> t=gammalib.GTime('JD 2436913')
>>> print t.utc()
