Must be something about the system we don't understand.
I am on Rev 2.7.2, OSX 10.4.7
Try this loop, then look at the msgbox, or copy paste to another app
on showDateList
put the short date into noww
convert noww to seconds
put 24*60*60 into hr24
repeat with x = (35*365) to (100*365)
put noww - (x*hr24) into past
convert past to dateitems
put past & cr after newList
end repeat
put newList into msg
end showDateList
