I'm afraid the 'fix' is trying to repair something is not broken!  

Date fromString: '6-Jan-10'. giving "6 January 1910" has not anything wrong.  
Within five year we'll have users/programmers complaining that:

Date fromString: '6-Jan-16'. gave "6 January 1916" and *obviously* it should 
have given "6 January 2015"!!

Rather document that years given with two figures get counted from 1900 (as it 
used to be in last century) and have people to use four digits for years in the 
2000s.

Otherwise:

1) We need to get used to the concept of an epoch time for Pharo; or

2) the number to be tested has to be the current year!

My 0.019999. . .

hi guys

can one of you give a look at the this fix because I'm confused.   
Kernel-DavidHotham.538

year < 20 ifTrue: [year := 2000 + year] 
 was
year < 10 ifTrue: [year := 2000 + year] 

both solutions look strange to me.

 ifFalse: [ year < 1900 ifTrue: [ year := 1900 + year]].
