Aiee... if you said Amiga, I would understand it. Macs also have a y2k
problem? Was discussed in dec99/jan00 on linux-m68k. I think people agree on
a fix in the kernel, but AFAIK nobody bothered to implement it yet. 
Or was it a y2k bug in hwclock _and_ in the kernel? I don't remember, please
search the archives.
