There was a year 300 bug that was reported and

would not be fixed due to performance considerations.

Heres a link that discusses it to a limited degree.

I'm impressed that (1) someone stumbled onto this bug... again!, (2)
that someone else was able to find a reference to someone else
stumbling upon this bug over 10 years ago!

To me, that discussion is actually rather complete, even featuring the
esteemed B.Morris herself.

At least this date is a *very* unusual one, and unlikely to be
encountered in real situations. It's much more benign than the date
bug in Excel (inherited from Lotus 1-2-3).
