This is because the day value is checked for validity against the current month, which has not yet been changed to January. I don't know that this is a bug. If fixing it is desirable, walking the 'vary' structure in vary_apply() in src/bin/date/vary.c needs to be changed to first apply year adjustments, then month adjustments, etc. and not in the order of command line arguments. -- Anatoly Vorobey, mellon@pobox.com http://pobox.com/~mellon/ "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" - G.K.Chesterton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
