Nobody out there to answer the question? The Problem is
not only, that the class switches to Time, but also that
the read in date is wrong by an week (and the time differs too):

dt= DateTime.now
=> #<DateTime: 21205505265589/8640000,1/12,2299161>

dt.to_yaml
=> “— !timestamp 2007-08-28T11:17:35+0200\n”

res= YAML::load(dt.to_yaml)
=> Mon Aug 20 05:17:35 Westeurop ische Normalzeit 2007

res.to_yaml
=> “— 2007-08-20 05:17:35 +02:00\n”

using Marshal

Marshal.load(Marshal.dump(dt))

gives the right solution (both the class and the data in it are
exactly the same), but I really wanted to stick to yaml …

cannot help you, but only say that i can replicate the behaviour here
too. someone complained too
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/262969

i think it’s a bug. stick to marshall in the meantime.

kind regards -botp

Please file a bug in the ruby tracker on RubyForge.

Also:

irb(main):003:0> DateTime.parse ‘3000/01/01 01:01:01’
=> #<DateTime: 243370443661/86400,0,2299161>
irb(main):004:0> dt = _
=> #<DateTime: 243370443661/86400,0,2299161>
irb(main):005:0> YAML.load dt.to_yaml
ArgumentError: time out of range
