Hi,

> The Millennium leap year bug in Hylafax was spotted last May (by Ken

It was fixed in the new beta releases. If you have a look at the 4.0pl2
source code (util/AtSyntax.c++) at the isLeapYear define, you can see
that it still has the leap year bug. The leap year is computed on the
base off 1900 and not on the year 0. So 100 is passed instead of 2000,
which acctually was no leap year.

I have found this bug in many binary versions of hylafax floating
around. Acctually the SuSE 6.2 still has it and the hp-ux version as
well. I recommend waiting for patches to come out (haven't seen any so
far) or to recompile the 4.0pl2 using the corrected version of
AtSyntax.c++ from the current beta version.
