Kovid is uncomfortable with this change, so the default date stays at 1/Jan/101. The other fixes will be included.

To work around the Qt problem, be sure that the year always has 4 digits. Add a leading zero for years before 1000. (And no, I haven't figured out a way to get Qt to add that zero. )

@theducks: thanks for the kind words. To be honest, the behavior is strange enough where I don't trust the completeness and correctness of my evidence. For all I know, the behavior depends on whether it is Thursday.
