        Ah.  So one must go through the entire list of possible bugs, and
see if they apply to your setting?  How is it then possible to publicize
to your user community what to and not to do?  They can't very well be
asked to read the entire list of possible problems on the web.  It seems
like a lot of the problems can be solved simply by saying, "Use
YEARCUTOFF=" and "Use four digit dates".
