You've been bitten by the Y2K bug. 
The solution is always to use getFullYear() instead of getYear().
getYear() is deprecated because in some browsers it returns the number
of years since 1900. Back in the 20th Century, this was intended to
provide a 2-digit year.
You'll see the same issues with getYear() in older versions of MSIE, and
possibly old Netscape and Opera browsers as well.
getFullYear() always returns a correct 4-digit year.
