calendar_decode2.ncl function question

Hi,

I try to use the calendar_decode2.ncl to translate an array of time values into month year values and it works however I have one year of daily data starting on 1870 and what I get when I use calendar_decode2 is data starting in 1940. Could someone please tell me why I get this ?
The code I use is the following

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/contrib/calendar_decode2.ncl"
begin
f1=addfile("ts.nc","r")
time=f1->time
;print(time)
ts = f1->TS
time@units="days since 1870-01-01 00:00:0"
time@calendar="noleap"
dec = calendar_decode2(time,0)
printVarSummary(dec)
print(dec)
end

Try loading in the following order

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/contrib/calendar_decode2.ncl"
