>Organization:

FreeBSD valkyrie.nfr.net 3.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE #6: Wed Jan  5 21:14:09 CST 2000     russ@valkyrie.nfr.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/VALKYRIE  i386
>Description:
Simple enough: 3.4 ships with groff 1.11.  This lacks a y2k fix purportedly in more recent versions.  In short, the date turns up as 1900. :P
>How-To-Repeat:
Reference the builtin register \*(td, which should have today's date.
>Fix:
Upgrade.  I installed the current version, groff 1.15, and it works (well, it gets the date right, at any rate).
