All,

In playing around with the date prompt (C-.), I ran across the following
puzzling behavior from rather simple inputs.

I entered the following on June 1, 2010.  Here is a date entered as
"3/15": <2011-03-15 Tue>.  It interpreted it as the upcoming March 15 as
expected.

But here is a date entered as "5/21": <2021-06-05 Sat>.  Note how it
interpreted the "21" as the year 2021, not at all what I expected from
the documentation or the analogous "3/15" example.

Maybe there is some underlying logic here that I'm not getting.  Perhaps
it has to do with how 2-digit years are interpreted?

What's going on here?  I am using org-version 6.36trans on emacs 23.1.

Regards,

We daren't go a-hunting,
For fear of little men.
