The lower limit is 1902, which is fine because it's actually 1901-12-13. 
But according to that logic the upper limit should be 2037 (2038-01-19).

Please make the range either from 1902-01-01 to 2037-12-31 (easier) or 
from 1901-12-13 to 2038-01-19 (maximum range).

Otherwise +1 from reading, but I hope that this is the only constraint 
in the Core. No further check in TCEmain, or so?
