Good idea! I have just now done so and have replaced the old and long stale old date entry (which was tiny and if you don't remember just said that things had been updated after 2000) with one that is quite a bit longer now. :-) http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#The-date-command-is-not-working-right_002e How does that look?
