Dates Handled Differently in XP Home?

[Dan Shafer]

No new data emerges.

I'm still stuck.

I can, of course, use systemVersion() to determine if the app is 
running on XP and, if so, adjust the code for the date anomaly 
accordingly. But I'd like to know if this is a known problem in XP or 
Rev or what so that I can understand why I'm doing what I'm doing.
