I hit the original error in SqueakTests>>testDateAndTimePrinting running in  
GemStone 3.0.2 (unreleased), but it is an error in the basic algorithm used:

   -12.3s0 _printAsDateAndTimeANSISecondsOn: '' writeStream.

reproduces the error in 2.x and 3.x

The seconds portion of a DateAndTime should never be negative but should  
satisfy the following:
     0 <= seconds < 60
The problem is in Number>>#'\\' which sometimes returns a negative number  
for a positive receiver. This has been reported as server bug #42196.
