Can you capture some ftp -d output?

Here is a capture of the ftp -d output.  Please note that the time, day and
month have changed as the files have been updated.

confirming on win2k,linux
another example: When you go to
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/people/varkoly/Schulserver/doku/ it displays 
Installationsanleitung.sxw  	9 KB  	10/10/03  	06:27:00
Praesentation-Schoolserver-en.sxi 	161 KB 	10/24/02 	15:00:00
Praesentation-Schulserver-de.sxi 	161 KB 	10/24/02 	15:00:00
Schoolserver-de.cd.pdf 	3113 KB 	10/24/02 	15:01:00 

But other browsers and ftp say (which is right, these files didnt even exist a
year ago i know that):
-rw-r--r--    1 suse     susewww      8683 Oct 10 06:27 Installationsanleitung.sxw
-rw-r--r--    1 suse     susewww    164647 Oct 24 15:00
Praesentation-Schoolserver-en.sxi
-rw-r--r--    1 suse     susewww    164679 Oct 24 15:00
Praesentation-Schulserver-de.sxi
-rw-r--r--    1 suse     susewww   3186919 Oct 24 15:01 Schoolserver-de.cd.pdf
(when the year is the current year, ftp under linux doesnt display it).

I confirm this bug on Win XP home with the 20031101 1.6a release and the
2003120109 1.6b nightly using ftp.mozilla.org or ftp.opera.com . Many dates of
the files and of the directories are set on 25. 11. 2002 or 28. 11. 2002. This
occurs sometimes after having changed the directory. I'm sure that the latest
1.6 nightly or Opera 7.23 didn't exist in 2002. Other browsers on the same WinXP
show correct dates.

Any chance of traction here for 1.7a?

This bug is visible on the latest tarball for JavaScript 1.5,
js-1.5-rc6.tar.gz, which I published at the Mozilla ftp sites
on 2004-01-30, at 15:49 Pacific Standard Time.

When viewed in Mozilla via the http protocol, it shows up correctly!
When viewed via the ftp protocol, it shows up with last year's date:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/   ----->   30-Jan-2004 15:49
 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/   ----->   01/30/2003  11:49:00 PM

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

this may be fixed when we intergrate the new ftp-parse code.  See:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212448

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Resolving this wfm, since i don't see this bug anymore for a while now. If
anyone disagrees, feel free to reopen (and maybe give a example where the bug
occours, since all testcases here now work for me).

Comment 9

[Klaus P. Kuhlemann]

This bug should be reopened. I saw the wrong year using ftp.mozilla.org with
Firefox 1.0 final and Mozilla 1.8a5 on Win 2000 and Linux. This is shown not
very often, but about every tenth time I connect to a ftp server.

*sigh*, this got fixed after alpha5 in a newer bug. reopening to mark as duplicate.
