Actually I think I figured out what the problem was.. I think (I'm not sure)
that it was because I was using BRE 987 instead of 988, which I didn't think
would be a problem.. but I read rumors somewhere that 987 might not be y2k
compliant, which would certainly explain the problem.. I gave it another shot
using BRE 988 and it works perfectly-- all I have to do is set the clock ahead
a day and it works.  

Thanks for the suggestion though! I really appreciate the help!
