Very old games (86.00, 86.05) seem to have wrong month value in save game.
As a result of this (http://archive.forum.simutrans.com/topic/08015.0/index.html) change in r1912...
- some games cause crash when loading (r1983 and after version), or date back (r1912-r1982)
- some games jump to the future, for example, from 04/2001 to 01/2072

Patch attached.

Thank you.
