The research is done for my web site devoted to creating a master index of programming functionality across many different programming languages.
On December 31st 2008, IsLeapyear(2008) is true and days equals 366. If IsLeapYear(2008) is true and days is not greater than 366, the number of days never decrements again resulting in days never becoming less than 366. If the days never becomes less than 366, the infinite looping results.
I just got done writing and self publishing my first book titled "Program Phases, A Programming Language and API Translator". The book is designed to help programmers learn new programming languages quickly.
I edited the book using Word XP 2002. The way Word renders formatted text is really inconsistent. Fonts changing randomly was really annoying. A page will not render properly unless a print preview is first displayed. I used Adobe Acrobat to convert the word files into a PDF. Acrobat worked really well.
I recommend first determining the page size and margins that are required by your publisher/printer. Create a test chapter and convert to PDF. Try different tools and see what works for you. I did create a small test using OpenOffice and I may use that for my next book.
I really like debian. Apt-get is very cool. However, for me, finding support for debian was a bit more difficult than finding support for Redhat.
For instance, for 2 days I attempted to get my 3dfx card working with debian linux. Every time I attempted to compile the driver, I would get a bunch of undefined symbol errors. At linux.3dfx.com, they have fancy rpm installations available for specific COMMERCIAL versions of Redhat. I switched to Redhat 6.1 and had the 3dfx card working in about a half hour. I also could not get my sound blaster live working under debian. Same problem as 3dfx, a bunch of undefined symbol errors when compiling. Under Redhat, it compiled and loaded right away.
The point is, the more commercial a product gets, the more likely hardware vendors will support that product.
I want apt-get for Redhat!

The following information is from the analysis done at the Program Phases site.

2008: 366 (366 - 366 = 0) -- On last day of leap year, program execution never gets here.
On December 31st 2008, IsLeapyear(2008) is true and days equals 366. If IsLeapYear(2008) is true and days is not greater than 366, the number of days never decrements again resulting in days never becoming less than 366. If the days never becomes less than 366, the infinite looping results.
Analysis of the bug can be found here and verbose loop analysis can be found here.
Complete output from stepping through the faulty loop starting 10593 days from January 1st 1980 can be found here.
