Further to summary sent earlier (included below),
our problem does appear to be a "failed" patch
application -- showrev indicates the patch was applied
but seems to be overstating the case here. I shall
back out and reapply.

Note that 103801-07 appears to be current for 2.51.

=================================================
Original summary follows:
=================================================

Thanks to Caspar Dik and Andy Holmes.

Here is Sun bug report:
Bug ID: 1172501
Description: SCCS apparently won't work past December 31, 1999

Bug is fixed in Solaris 2.6 and Solaris 2.7
Patches for old versions:
Solaris 2.5.1: 103801-06 (sparc) 103802-05 (intel)
Solaris 2.5: 103285-07 (sparc) 103298-05 (intel)
Solaris 2.4: 102788-05 (sparc) 102789-04 (intel)
Solaris 2.3: 102787-07 (sparc)
================================================

Interestingly, we have already applied 103801-06, but
it may be that we have an "old" version of sccs, or
that the patch was incorrectly applied: I must check.

Andy Holmes points out patches:
        106029-04 for 2.6 and 102788-05 for 2.4

John.
