This is a perl issue.  I don't speak perl but have seen lots of these
perl date problems discussed on the net over the last 24hrs.  Apparently
one of the perl date functions returns the date as a diff from 1900.  So
the programmer is sloppy.  There were lots of places that would just put
a text string of '19' and then append the date so places where reporting
the date as 19100.  Sorry I don't know where the problem is in the code.
Just passing on the info.
