| 52 | weekdays[lt->tm_wday], months[lt->tm_mon],lt->tm_mday, | |

| 56 | I simply took out the 19 and changed the formatting to %04d, then added | |
| 57 | 1900 to the year. I'm guessing this is going to affect a lot of people using | |
| 58 | services who are using dalnet-compatable ircds. I wrote a little patch | |
| 59 | yesterday for some server admins who wanted to fix the bug without | |
| 60 | messing in their source code. | |
| 61 | You can find it and instructions on applying it at | |
