Well, sorry - the first values are O.K., are just wanted to show WHERE
EXACTLY the bug appears.

No, you're wrong.
Try 'now on console and you'll get something like 9-Aug-2000/16:25:00+1:00
the last number is TIMEZONE stamp. The 'random, 'find and 'select (and maybe
some other I've tried only this) has the bug ONLY when using full date format
including timezone stamp - and that was the problem (I didn't explain it
well).
I'm writing REBOL CGI counter and each visit is saved with visit's date. Then
I need to look for some values in this block but REBOL says it can't find
anything - the date format is generated by 'NOW and it cannot be my fault.
Thanks again
