Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

[tom@littlefear tom]$ date +%j -d 04/01/2002
091
[tom@littlefear tom]$ let due=`date +%j -d 04/01/2002` ; echo $due
bash: let: due=091: value too great for base (error token is "091")
100

[tom@littlefear tom]$ date +%j -d 01/31/2002             
031
[tom@littlefear tom]$ let due=`date +%j -d 01/31/2002` ; echo $due
25
