And so are we, Philip Hazel's establishment, and thank you for drawing
the problem to our attention just hours before it bit us!

An updated version is available from

Alternatively again, and what is in fact in 0.32, is to use
perl's localtime and sprintf the pieces.

Apologies/condolences to anyone else who got bitten.
