ls has stopped using the ISO date format

2010-05-29 Thread Brian Marshall
Hi all, Recently, I noticed that the date format in the output from ls -l has changed in squeeze. Before, it used the ISO standard (2010-05-29 20:00) but now it's started printing May 29 20:00 or May 29 2009 if it's not the current year. My locale, which hasn't changed in years, is en_US.UTF-8.
