Android CTS Datetime error

Question: When running CTS, we see the following error in android.text package. How do we work around this?

cts_host > start --plan CTS -t
android.text.format.cts.DateUtilsTest#testFormatMethods
cts_host > start test android.text.format.cts.DateUtilsTest#testFormatMethods
==============================================================

Answer:
If you set the phone system time to 2009 year, this test will be passed. Note that Android is continuously improving CTS framework. This issue may be fixed in the future.
