var now = new Date();
var Year = now.getYear();

document.write ("Year: " + Year);

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a JScript file
2. create a webpage, and include a <script src=''>-tag
3. look at the result :)

Actual Results:  
The year returned is incorrect, 104.

Expected Results:  
Given the correct year, 2004.
