>The first Y2K bug I've noticed is with the NEIC Bigquake message!

The message reads:
The following is from the United States Geological Survey, National
Earthquake Information Center: preliminary hypocenter for
earthquake of 1900 jan 01, WEST OF MACQUARIE ISLAND, about 475 miles
(770 km) NW of Young Island, Balleny Islands: latitude 60.8 degrees
south longitude 153.6 degrees east origin time 05 58 19.1 utc depth
shallow, magnitude 5.6 ms.

Apparently the error is in the program that generates this text, as the
database itself keeps the full 4-digit year.

NEIC is now working on the problem, so it should be fixed soon.
