Re: Incorrect date displayed in Netscape when Roaming

[Ingmar Gutberlet <gutberle@biopsy.uni-jena.de>]

Well observed ... yes, this is a Y2K bug in Netscape. If you look closely you
will notice that the dayofweek is behind by two (the 11th of Feb was a friday),
meaning that Netscape gets the years mixed up, with the yearoffset from basedate
1970 being calculated wrongly as 0 in 2000. I already reported this bug to NS.
Maybe ;-) one of the next major releases will fix this...
Cheers,
Ingmar Gutberlet
