H'mm, let's see, on 31-May:
-11months = 31-June, which doesn't exist so is treated as 01-July
-10months = 31-July (fine)
-9 months = 31-August (fine)
-8 months = 31-September (doesn't exist, treat as 01-Oct)
-7 months = 31-October (fine)
-6 months = 31-November (doesn't exist, treat as 01-Dec)
etc.
Not a PHP bug.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc.
If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.
Works for me, come up with a better script which also takes care of
timezones etc.

Better demonstration:
for($x = 12; $x >= 1; $x--)
echo date("m/Y", strtotime(sprintf("$x month%s ago",
$x == 1 ? '' : 's'))) . "\n";
Odd assortment of dates.

echo date( "m/Y", strtotime("-10 month") ) . "<br><br>";
?>

08/2003
