The problem seems to happen only with years 1000 through 1099
I don't doubt that the results are wrong, but I'd bet they're wrong
outside
those dates as well, at least for dates prior to 1582 for the
Gregorian
calendar. Furthermore, depending on the locale, the results are
probably
incorrect for dates through about 1923, as different areas of the
world
adopted the modern Gregorian calendar at different times.
This is weird; when I tried it earlier, I had correct dates after
1099, now I don't. I also had correct dates before 1000, now I
don't. In fact, now entering the year 0999 or 999 results in the year
2999.
Just curious, why are you concerned about such ancient dates?
I'm not; someone else reported it, and I was trying to isolate the
scope of the error; it's my old profession re-emerging; I used to be
an SQA Test Engineer.
