When I open the 'date-1.0-1' source link [1] I get a 'date.lua' file, by Steve
Donovan. And that file starts with this header:
--[[LuaDate version:2.0.1]]-------------------------------
--[[------------------------------------------------------
Copyright (C) 2006, by Jas Latrix
So it DOES seem seem unrelated. But the versioning baffles me... 'date 1.0'
starts with Jas Latrix' code 2.0.1???
@steve; did you update, Jas Latrix' code? If so do you have a recollection of
what you did, because I picked his code up as well and I would hate it if you
made bugfixes or improvements that I missed :)

Well to some extend this can be considered a bug, and then it should be fixed...
