	I have been having news articles come in and put in *files*
with bad dates.  That is, I can do an "ls -l nnnn" and find out how long
they've been here, but if I try to do a "touch nnnn", I get the
message "date: bad conversion".  This is the file!  (Needless to say,
I have some expire problems, too.)

	Has anyone seen this?  It doesn't seem to be just the expire
bug, though, since most articles expire normally.


	Reply by mail and I'll post a summary if demand warrants.


-Jeff
