I was mucking around with getdate, and noticed
it won't take dates > 1999. Anyone know why? I hate to
just patch it and blow its leap year handling all to hell.

Actually, if it's using a year mod 4 leap year algorithm, it'll do fine for
2000 - as 2000 is a leap year. 2100, on the other hand, may be a problem...
