Hi All,
I'm seeing a problem with my setup where the date command fails in an
odd way:
this is what it does:
$ date -d '1 January 1900'
date: invalid date `1 January 1900'
same thing on a linux box:
$ date -d '1 January 1900'
Mon Jan 1 00:00:00 PMT 1900
any dates after 1901 seem to work OK:
$ date -d '1 January 1902'
Wed Jan 1 00:00:00 PMT 1902
but nothing works before then:
$ date -d 'today - 150 years'
date: invalid date `today - 150 years'
$ date -d 'today - 100 years'
Sun Jan 21 01:33:27 WET 1912
this is the info for the date command:
$ date --version
date (GNU coreutils) 8.14

Where should I start debugging?
Thanks in advance,
