Running PHP 5.1.4, Horde 3.1.1, and Whups 1.0-cvs, we experienced a
similar problem during the 2006-2007 transition.  Here's the scenario:

1. Ticket created during 2006, with due date set to date in 2006 (eg 29
Dec 2006)
2. Click Update to change ticket information (eg state from Implement to
Stalled)
3. Click Save

Ticket will not save because the year drop down no longer contains 2006. 
Any ticket that is updated in a year different than the one in which it's
created will have this problem.  Updating the due date is not desired
because we want to keep the fact that it's past due (hence the stalled
state). 

This is a general problem with selects populated from a fixed list.  One
solution is to populate the select with the correct values, then if the
current value is not in the list, add it also.

We hacked Horde to include 2006 regardless, but this will have the same
problem next year.  I'm not sure if newer versions of Horde have addressed
this, but thought I would post if not.
