I am curious as to why this happened.

I was at work yesterday and created a file. The name of the file
is created using the Cygwin date function.

REV=$(date +rev-%b-%d-%g)
APPNAME="$1-$REV.img"

When I did a "ls" this morning, I noticed that the year was wrong
on the file yesterday but is correct today (on a new file created
today using the same script). I have a windows XP machine and the
Cygwin version is quite recent.
