Check out IBM's web site.  My partner in crime downloaded a 12 page
document IBM has compiled with their warnings about things that can go
worng if you do that!

Most of the problems seem to be caused when things (journal receivers,
files, date entries) are created with 2000+ dates, and will cause problems
when you crank the date back to 'now.'
