>Description:
cvs/rcs store dates internally as 98.03.12... which is problematically
for handling y2k
>How-To-Repeat:
look inside a ..,v file
>Fix:
change date in ,v to 1998.03.12
here is some suspect code from ../gnu/lib/rcstime.c:date2str()
if (!use_zone_offset)
VOID sprintf(datebuf,
"19%.*s/%.2s/%.2s %.2s:%.2s:%s"
+ (date[2]=='.' && VERSION(5)<=RCSversion ? 0 : 2),
(int)(p-date-1), date,
p, p+3, p+6, p+9, p+12
);
else {
struct tm t;
struct tm const *z;
int non_hour;
long zone;
char c;
t.tm_year = atoi(date) - (date[2]=='.' ? 0 : 1900);
