I don't think it's the wrong field. Most (all?) C time calls use "years since |
| 26 |
1900" instead of the actual year value, so the 114 return values from the |
| 27 |
original message look like they are just the raw returned data. |

(See 'man time.h' for more information) |

In 1999 or earlier this just gave you the correct 2-digit year value so yes, |
| 32 |
this does like like a Y2K problem, if not a very serious one. |
