Keep in mind that with FOSS you get to become part of the software development 
process, which gives you a level of power unheard of in the proprietary 
software world. If you found a bug in a proprietary software product, you'd 
be left out in the cold.

Have you tried this suggestion?

It suggests that things should work if you input a full year (e.g. 1954, not 
54).
