Hello,

The %W prompt variable does not seem to work correctly in zsh 3.0.5

We are running solaris 2.6 and have zsh 3.0.5.
Setting your prompt to %W, and then setting the date to after 1/1/2000 gives
incorrect output. eg:

Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.6       Generic August 1997

[3] bousfipd@y2ktest1.y2k-sol:/ % export prompt=%W
12/31/99date

The century is display as :0 not 00!

Thankyou for your time.
