Date Glitch in CGI Software

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Grassroots Information Coordination Center (GICC) : One Thread

The scheduling software for calendar events for New Jersey Life http://www.jerseylife.com/ is forecasting year 2000 dates incorrectly. When asked to schedule an event on the first Monday in each month, it schedules them on Sunday instead. Tuesdays schedule on Mondays and so on. It is constantly 1 day out. Was this the day that the Monday would have fallen on in 1900 we wonder? The site is using WebCal 1.11. It is possible that other sites using this CGI script will have the same problem.
