Problem Description: 

    4048352 xterm creates file name with two-digit year format - backed out fix
    1197532 xterm pty may disagree with actual window size    

    The fix for bug id 4048352 was backed out because it could break
    scripts that are being used at customer sites.  If the script was
    looking for a 2-digit year instead of a 4-digit year then the 
    original fix would break the script.  The new fix does a modulus
    100 which will give a 2-digit year in the correct format in the 
    year 2000 and beyond.
