If your BeBox is like my x86 installation, you'll find that the year can
still be set properly (and is probably still right if you didn't apply
anything from the applet) from a terminal session. File dates are correct,
etc., so it seems to just be a limitation of the config panel.

Or at least my BeBox does: the Time control panel won't let me enter the
year 2011. I set it to 2005 since that was the calendar match.
I can't find anywhere that addresses this for R5 -- anyone know? The epoch
seems to start in 1965, so assuming it is a 32-bit time counter,
internally it
should still be able to handle that.
