The seconds problem

[Mark Smith]

I think there's something a bit odd about Revs date and time handling. 
I'm in the UK, and have OS X  set to use the european date format. 
Below is just plain weird.

US date version - no problem
on mouseUp
   put "1/1/04" into aDate
   repeat 100
     put aDate & return after dList
     convert aDate to dateItems
     add 1 to item 3 of aDate
     convert aDate to short date
   end repeat
   put dList into fld 1
end mouseUp

produces this:
1/1/04
1/2/04
1/3/04
1/4/04
1/5/04
1/6/04
1/7/04
1/8/04
1/9/04 etc.

However,

european date version - no good at all
on mouseUp
   put "1/1/04" into aDate
   repeat 100
     put aDate & return after dList
     convert aDate to dateItems
     add 1 to item 3 of aDate
     convert aDate to short system date
   end repeat
   put dList into fld 1
end mouseUp

  produces this:
1/1/04
02/01/04
02/02/04
03/02/04
03/03/04
04/03/04
04/04/04
05/04/04
05/05/04
06/05/04
06/06/04...


???????
