refer ignoring dates > 1999 (Y2K issue)

Hello,

as I bumped some time ago into the problem that refer only considers
as dates (i.e. years) numbers starting with 19, but not 20, I want to
ask whether someone has corrected this issue yet.

[if you have two items

%A fantomas
%D 2001

%A fantomas
%D 2002

refer in its today's shape will protest...
