vhost01.dca.int: ~ % /usr/local/gnu/bin/date --date "7 days +
11-jul-2010"
/usr/local/gnu/bin/date: invalid date `7 days + 11-jul-2010'


However it works fine on our other server that we have not patched yet.

It has been a year in the bug tracker system without any response.  So
I am assuming the issue is no longer relevant.  Closing the bug.
