Just pure curiosity! Last year, the bug is fixed on Jan 2nd too. Both are those days are Monday. Is this just coincidence?

What kind of programming mistake that lead to this bug?

Speculation about why Apple did something is off-topic here. Questions about how to work around a bug or the user-end points of a bug are on topic here and pretty well documented by Apple as well. You might see about asking on Stack Overflow if you have date code that is buggy or Programmers if you want to discuss what class of code is susceptible to bugs of this nature, but we don't host programming questions here. – bmike♦ Jan 3 at 15:19
