But I do handle leap years? Just not the year 2100.

1900 is in the past. It has nothing to do with my script, how it's written or whether it's a leap year. 1900 is the past, is the past, is the past. The only way you can reach it is to roll back you system clock so that your system thinks the current year is 1900 which is far beyond the use or intentions of this script. Do we modify all our scripts to accept the possibility of someone resetting the system clock to some abnormal date?

It's not a bug that it can't accept those dates? That's not what the script does. There's no argument to accept an arbitrary second date to use. You're suggesting it's a bug that the script doesn't accept something it doesn't use.

If it's necessary to appease the gods to account for the possibility of this script being used in the year 2100 I'll do it, as unrational as I think that is. To account for 1900 is just plain wrong IMHO.

I'd like to see an example of off by a day with certain combinations of current time, current date and current timezones.
