The class file /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/dinbrief/dinbrief.cls (tetex-latex-0.9-6.i386.rpm) calculates a date in the form DD.MM.YY. Since 1.1.2000 the YY is shown as 100, because it subtracts 1900 from the current year instead dividing it modulo 100.
This problem is still preset in tetex-1.0.6: \def\today{\number\day.\space\ifcase\month\or Januar\or Februar\or M\"arz\or April\or Mai\or Juni\or Juli\or August\or September\or Oktober\or November\or Dezember\fi \space\number\year} \newcount\yearcnt \yearcnt=\year \advance\yearcnt-\number1900 \def\@znumber#1{\ifnum\number#1<10 0\number#1\else\number#1\fi} \def\ntoday{\@znumber{\number\day}.% \@znumber{\number\month}.% \@znumber{\the\yearcnt}} \def\@ntoday{\ntoday}
It is fixed in the one shipping with Red Hat Linux 7 (possibly earlier, but at least that one) - no mention of 1900 at all.
