>Description:

	cvs/rcs store dates internally as 98.03.12... which is problematically
	for handling y2k

>How-To-Repeat:

	look inside a ..,v file

>Fix:
	
	change date in ,v to 1998.03.12

	here is some suspect code from ../gnu/lib/rcstime.c:date2str()

        if (!use_zone_offset)
            VOID sprintf(datebuf,
                "19%.*s/%.2s/%.2s %.2s:%.2s:%s"
	   + (date[2]=='.' && VERSION(5)<=RCSversion  ?  0  :  2),
                (int)(p-date-1), date,
                p, p+3, p+6, p+9, p+12
            );
        else {
            struct tm t;
            struct tm const *z;
            int non_hour;
            long zone;
            char c;

            t.tm_year = atoi(date) - (date[2]=='.' ? 0 : 1900);
