[DUG-TO] Date + Calendar are great but...

Tue May 5 13:58:09 EDT 2009

I had similar problems when I updated to the most recent version of
date about a month ago, similar or the same problems for both Drupal 5
and 6. I remember finding that the issue for Drupal 6 was fixed by
upgrading to the latest (at that time) 6-2.x-dev version.

Which versions are you using? [that should have been my first question]
