Looks like the new (gnew? :-) GNATS is picking the wrong field out of
a `date` somewhere.. 

BTW: the make rules for send-pr are still broken.  obj/send-pr is
getting left around for a *long* time and is not being rebuilt when it
should.  IMHO, it'd be better (although still not right) to get it to
read `uname -rsm` at runtime, rather than sed'ing it in at make time.

Perhaps another way would be to *force* send-pr to be rebuilt every
single time, so there is never a stale copy in gnu/send-pr/obj.

Or.. perhaps send-pr needs to read `uname -rsm` for "kern" reports,
but use the compiled in name for the other problem categories.. in
case the kernel has been supped/rebuilt later, but the other binaries
have been unmodified...

[[ It's this very same bug which caused 2.0.5-RELEASE to go out with a
send-pr tag of "2.0-BUILT-nnnnnn".. There was a stale copy of send-pr
left from before Jordan/Rod/whoever changes newvers.sh, and send-pr
was not rebuilt, and was installed from the stale, several days old
version. ]]
