If your locale doesn't support this alternative format, the output should be the same as %m, which is the case here. I don't know what is your locale, but strftime therefore seems to work correctly. Also the %Om behaviour is correct for locale actually implementing this alternate format: $ LC_TIME=ja_JP.UTF-8 date +'%d %B %m' 08 5月 05 $ LC_TIME=ja_JP.UTF-8 date +'%d %B %Om' 08 5月 五 $ LC_TIME=uk_UA.UTF-8 date +'%d %B %m' 08 травень 05 $ LC_TIME=uk_UA.UTF-8 date +'%d %B %Om' 08 травень травня In my opinion there is no bug, that said please provide more informations about your locale so that we can conclude. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
