You have found the bug....

We came across this just the other week.

It is all to do with Juliann dates.

Can't remember the exact detail but will try to find out and post.

Cheers

So why are you using internal date values against a date-formatted 
dictionary item?!?  If (for whatever bizarre reason) you want to do
that, 
just use a dict item that specifies a straight numeric value.  For the 
record, this is looking at 14001 as year 14, Julian date 001.  14365 is 
Julian date 365 in year 14.  14366 is day 366 in year 14.  Oh, wait,
there 
was no day 366 in year 14 - bad data.  Hey, there was no day zero
(14000) 
either!

Make it easier on the humans and unambiguous for the computers.  Use 
external dates.
