At a previous job, we used a bug tracking tool called "Remedy". On September 8, 2001, it started reporting dates incorrectly; its idea of the current date jumped back to 1973 and started advancing at 1/10 the normal rate. It used Unix timestamps (seconds since 1970) and assumed they could only be 9 decimal digits. When the time reached 10 digits, the last digit was quietly dropped. (It was fixed within a few days.)
