Your use of zero before the actual year, as though you’re a COBOL-addled Long Now fanatic, makes me want to think the value is in octal. C brain damage on my part, no doubt.


Me too, me too. If only I could blame my brain damage on COBOL...

Remember that 8 and 9 haven't been valid as octal digits since the ANSI standard.
