Fix for setatr in clifile.c

[Satwik Hebbar]

My test as against a Win2k server too. Sorry for not mentioning that  
earlier. In fact, it was ethereal itself that told me the times werent  
going out properly. The dat I wanted to set was Apr 25, 2005, while  
ethereal showed it as some date in 2020. When I stopped the conversion in  
setatr to dos format, both ethereal and the final timestamps were showing  
proper values.

I will repeat my experiment as soon as I get time today and send the  
ethereal dump too.

Thanks for your patience,
Satwik.

'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
 From the life I live when I'm awake
