        Hrrrmmm, that now sounds like it could be a javascript bug of
a similar flavour (i.e. the javascript date display something is
incorrectly using years-since-1900 as a two digit year).  I'm not
familiar enough with javascript and it's myriad incarnations
(thankfully :) to say either way authoritatively.  


        Only thing I could think to do at this point would be to look
at the raw HTML and see if the date's in that correctly (as 2001), or
if it's a time_t (seconds since 0000 Jan 1 1970) value that some local
javascript is processing somehow to create the rendered date.
