Hi,
I tried running make test today (29 feb 2012) and it failed test 61 in
t/date.t
Test 61 tries to make sense of this date:
1999 10:02:18 "GMT"
Because today is a leap day, it tries to create a date of 29-02-1999 and
that date doesn't exist, resulting in a make test failure.
Changing the year to 1996 makes test 61 pass as well.
Bye
Erik-Jan

Not that anyone else is going to see this problem for another 4 years ... but I've just confirmed the problem, as I ran into myself.
