Yup. Composed on the Solaris machine; and 1.4.4 is the version that gets
downloaded for it.

I don't know. What I don't understand is why what appears to be an older
version (admittedly for a slightly different OS) works yet the current
doesn't.

Is it a version problem or an OS one I wonder? Anyone with 1.4.4 or
1.4.5 on Red Hat willing to switch to the GB locale and see if the dates
then work properly. If they do then does that make it a OS/locale
problem; if not a version one?
