I looked for info on the year 2000 bug and haven't found any via the
search engine in your
support area.

The reason I ask is I think I found one in the DATE command for 2.2.1.

The reason I say this is that it uses the YYMMDD format which means it
will roll over to

000101  at the year 2k.

man info :

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/date [-u] [+format]
     /usr/bin/date [-a [-]sss.fff]
     /usr/bin/date [-u] [[mmdd]HHMM | mmddHHMM[cc]yy][.SS]

     /usr/xpg4/bin/date [-u] [+format]
     /usr/xpg4/bin/date [-a [-]sss.fff]
     /usr/xpg4/bin/date [-u] [[mmdd]HHMM | mmddHHMM[cc]yy][.SS]
