BUG:	The year is incorrectly determined as yy+1900+1900 when DATE-OBS
	is in the old FITS format (dd/mm/yy).  In other words, an extra
	1900 is added to the two digit year.  This is caused by a
	misunderstanding of where the 1900 is added.  This will make
	further calculations which use the year grossly incorrect.  The
	workaround is to manually edit the image headers to convert them to
	the new FITS format (yyyy-mm-dd).

STATUS:	Fixed for a future patch or release.
