Jim,

The "fresh" version results in: days old = 36500   years old = 99  exact years old = 99.975342   next Bday 
= 9 days from now
for ANY date that has a year earlier than 1970.  I tried it in 2.6.1 and 
2.7.3. I am using Rev in Windows 2000. I even tried changing the 
centuryCutoff... same results.
