This is actually a problem caused by me using %s in the time format
statement. Solaris, and possibly some other Unices do not support that
parameter. (Thanks to Mike Wilkinson for the initial report and pointer
toward the problem.)

We have changed the [tag time]%s[/tag] in lib/UI/vars/UI_STD_HEAD
to [tag time]%m%d%H%M%S[/tag], which corrects this.
