Vlad,

This is pretty well known. I have a feeling that it's tied to the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in the US. I mentioned Zoeller's (or Zeller, I'm not sure which) Congruence earlier. If that's used, I believe it doesn't work prior to the year used as the base for the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. 'Course, this is strictly off the top of my head (haven't dealt with the formula since 1986).
