<FAQENTRY> Warning concerning future FAQ updates (?).
My ISP has changed its Web hosting arrangements. AFAICS, this has
changed the allowed output bandwidth to a quarter of what it was, and
has added a large chunk of superfluous logging data to be accommodated
within the allocated space, which in my case was almost full.
It may well, therefore, be necessary to reconsider how the FAQ handles
date & time matters.
In my (current) Opera 9.21, the Date Object is unreliable when its value
exceeds 2^31 in magnitude and is near a Summer Time transition. It
should be tested in other locations : different time zone, with or
without different Summer Time Rules. IE & FF are OK. To test, scan
new Date(Y, M, D) over a couple of weeks around the transitions for a
few years around 2038.
