for example, please try following code.
% emacs19 -no-site-file -q
(progn
(require 'timezone)
(timezone-parse-date "Sat, 1 Jan 00 07:00:00 JST"))
;; then right ( Emacs-20.5 or XEmacs )
-> ["2000" "1" "1" "07:00:00" "JST"]
;; then wrong ( before Emacs-20.4 )
-> ["1900" "1" "1" "07:00:00" "JST"]
Note:
If you have installed apel-10.0, y2k problem has been fixed with apel's
timezone.el.
