This _is_ a Y2K bug, but probably not in any software you're using. 
Many man pages are `compiled' along with the programs they are written
for.  There was probably something wrong with what the Distributed.net
used to make their man pages.  You can contact them about it (though you
may want to make sure that you have the latest version before doing so).
