Heh, my V6 machine thinks (via 'date') that

the date code is probably missing the '400 year' exception.
I fixed a Y2K bug once, when I found some code that baldly asserted that
2000 was *not* a leap year (and written by my then boss, no less).
Oh, I was also on duty around 0700 on 1/1/2000, just in case; yeah, there
were a couple of minor glitches, such as printing cheques for the year
19100...
