Scientific Atlanta PVR crashes due to leap year

Joe Clark, an expert on captioning and accessibility issues, recently got a new Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000 PVR for his Rogers Cable system in Canada. He's been keeping track of it on his accessibility blog and recently found that the box crashed and lost information a week before Feb 29th, this year's leap day. Slashdot noticed as well and it seems to be a date bug in the box's software, similar to a y2k bug.
