The DateType is a bunch of bitfields.
The DateTimeType is a bunch of integers.
It is possible (especially depending on your compilation optimization
options) that the debugger cannot display the DateType fields correctly
so the values may be right in reality, but just display wrong in
the debugger.
Turn off all optimizations and then do this:
int m,d,y;
m = date.month;
d = date.day;
y = date.year + 1904;
Now look at those three variables and see if they are correct.
