Day Of The Programmer

/* This code accepts an year as input from stdin and processes the very date of the Day of the Programmer in that year, aware of the fact that there was a shift
   from the Julian to Gregorian Calendar in the year 1918, in Russia (Day of The Programmer was founded here)*/

Good code, but when you input a year more than four digits, it outputs this:

*** buffer overflow detected ***: 385308392/a.out terminated Abort signal from abort(3) (SIGABRT)
