[Info-vax] 2010 date issues

[JHJR]

All,

Just a heads up. I haven't seen anything here on this issue yet:

--2010 Date Recognition Problems

(January 5, 2010)

German payment cards are not the only technology to be hit with
problems recognizing dates in the new year. (See story below.)
Smartphone users running Windows Mobile are getting text messages
dated 2016.  Symantec's Endpoint Protection manager is labeling
signatures dated in the new year as being out-of-date; until the
problem is addressed in an update, new malware signatures will be
dated 12/31/2009 with increased revision numbers.  Other vendors
affected include Cisco, SpamAssassin.
