I don't know anything about genscript but this is an issue with the Perl
time functions which seemed until a few days ago (i.e., to those who had
not RTFM) to return two-digit dates but in fact returns 100 for 200, 101
for 2001, etc. If it's open source and perl-based, the fix may be easy
enough; just add 1900 instead of doing what it's doing now.
