It doesn't surprise me that the Date serialization needs to be
modified - the internal format of the Date class changed in 3.7.  But
that seems a very odd implementation, since it ignores the date itself
and always writes out the current time.

The implementation I have in my production image, which I think is
correct for Squeak >= 3.7, is this:

odbBasicSerialize: serializer
	serializer stream putByte: 32; putInteger: self asJulianDayNumber - 2415386
