Description gordon 2000-01-03 00:00:01 UTC

	The \*(DT string expands to "January 2, 190" on January 2, 2000.

Fix: 

The \n[yr] macro needs to reflect the 4 DIGIT YEAR, (in 
/usr/src/contrib/groff/troff/input.cc, line 5546, change 
int(tt->tm_year)%100 to int(tt->tm_year)+1900 ) and windowing attempts
in macro packages need to be changed to reflect this.
How-To-Repeat: % nroff -mm
.pl 2i
\*(DT
^D
%

(The .pl 2i part is to keep output from scrolling off the screen.)

I am the person who is taking up groff problems and tries to solve 
them. =)

It is doubtful groff will get updated on 3-STABLE, but I'll try. 
In the meantime I'll put this to suspended.

Ruslan confirmed my belief that this has been fixed in 3.5-RELEASE since.
