Note that this will vary country to country of course. In the
US, the fact that Congress has specially recognized this problem
and acted to protect US companies from liability on Y2K issues
would likely be taken by the courts to indicate that this is
not simply "another bug".

Personally I find treating Y2K this way technically
unsupportable, but my technical views do not govern the law!
