It was Mac OS X Server 10.2.6, app server 061.

Jeff,

We've had the same results reported on two Mac servers. What platform are you using? I've been holding off reporting it until we have better sense of which specific versions are affected.

I ran date.taf with the same two DATEFORMAT settings you tried and got the same results you did.

Has anyone reported this as a bug yet?

Roland, All,

We did a test on our systems here and have attached the TAF we used. On our Mac OS X server we have gotten results contrary to what is indicated in the documentation. If anyone else wants to run the file and report back their findings we can present a better case if it is indeed a bug or simply a discrepancy with the documentation.

More explanation of the differences is contained in the TAF results.

by this, a date of 03, should correctly resolve to 2003, right?

Before you pass judgement, check to see what your DATEFORMAT and/or
TIMESTAMPFORMAT is set to.
From the manual:
Note: If a date format string contains %Y, but the value for the  year  is
two-digit, the following centuries are assumed, if appropriate:
Value Century
00-36
 2000s
37-99
 1900s
That is, a two-digit year of 99 is evaluated as 1999, and a two-digit year of 00 is evaluated as 2000.

So, if your date format string contains a %y, 19XX is probably assumed.
