It is a problem which seems to occur whenever there is a month change over a weekend.
The egrep expression to try and  find four days over two different months is somewhat
more then egrep can handle.  This is also a problem on 4.3BSD's calendar.  I have never
noticed the core file, but that may be a peculiarity of our systems.
