Why isn't this a date?

It's probably going to be a tricky bug to track down, since other XP  
users are not seeing the problem (at least with post 1969 dates).
The overloading (in the meantime) issue you could deal with by  
writing a reasonably named function ('isDate', perhaps) that contains  
your own date identification code (there might be a shell call,  
perhaps), which can then be replaced with a call to "is a date" when  
and if the problem gets solved...

Best,

Mark
