    Alas that is a "feature" of the specification:

      String number of the BIOS release date. The date string, if supplied,
      is in either mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy format. If the year portion of the
      string is two digits, the year is assumed to be 19yy.

      NOTE: The mm/dd/yyyy format is required for SMBIOS version 2.3 and
      later.

    (SMBIOS Specification version 3.4.0c)

<sigh>

Yeah, it occurred to me that it might be something like that shortly after I hit "send". :-p

    It might be worth putting a comment in so people don't accidentally
    change it to the wrong thing in future though, given it's currently
    ambiguous otherwise.

That would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ravi (rpokala@)
