Maybe that date is really June 1, 2003, since many countries list the
month second, not first.

By the way, these DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY formats often make it
difficult to quantify how much notice a vendor really had before the
issue was published.  This has affected the accuracy of my past
aborted attempts to figure out how long vendors *really* take to fix
issues, and it may hamper any future attempts.

Using formats like YYYY/MM/DD or "Month DD, YYYY" generally seems to
address the confusion.
