This isn't a very intelligible bug report.   When reporting a bug in
software please state as precisely as possible:
1. What you did.
2. What you expected to happen.
3. What actually did happen.

In this case I assume you think that %C prints the century, for
example 21.   It turns out that it doesn't.   From the documentation:
       %C     century; like %Y, except omit last two digits (e.g., 20)

I agree though that using the word "century" here is misleading.
