Hi Guys,

So version prints a garbage date if <year> is set to either 00 or 2000.
Someone has already pointed out that setting the year to 100 works as a
temporary fix. (Version seems to parse the date correctly, and at least the
day and month values match what they are in the version string!)
Would someone like to comment the likelihood of this method working with
future versions of version?
All the best,
