Bug.  VM doesn't try very hard with dates.  It isn't that VM is
ignoring the year, it's more likely a parsing problem, or that
some messafge have four-digit years and some have the two-digit
abbreviation.  As I said VM doesn't try very hard to get it
right.

What can I say?  My time is limited.  Pick a feature of VM's, any
feature, vm-follow-summary-cursor for example, and you can safely
blame it for VM's abominable handling of dates.  Find the
proponents of the feature you picked and scream at them.  :-)
