I documented this in November, 1998.  When I informed Hector
of the issue, I was told that it was NOT a bug... it was a
FEATURE and was working AS PLANNED.  It took a year for Hector
to understand that deviations from what is expected really IS
a bug, even if he insisted that he couldn't tell the difference
between the year "00" meaning 1900 or 2000.  Yah.... right.

Oh, and the moderator of the Silver Xpress echo almost had me
ejected because I insisted that their precious software had a 
bug, not a feature.

There is a fix to the reader that was released about Christmas 1999, 
that addresses the "BUG" thing.
