Comment 1 Steve Snyder 2007-08-10 13:46:51 UTC
My BIOS (motherboard: Supermicro P4DC6+) dates from 2003 so I doubt that this is
a  Y2K bug in that code.  FYI.

  I can confirm on a Dell Dimension B110 bought in 2006.

Known bug in the pm-trace code; it's just cosmetic and the fix is easy, we just
haven't gotten to it yet.
