  A logic bug prevents you from setting the Accu-Vote to Feb
29 on any leap year.  The same bug will allow you to set it
to Feb 29th on any non-leap year.  This will be fixed in
future releases.

  The clock chip is handling the year just fine so if you
set the date before or after Feb 29 this year, you will not
have had any problem.

  Note that this is a leap year bug and not a Y2K bug!
