[ic] why does convert-date cause 500 error? (Foundation demo)

[Glenn McCalley]

Well, OK, bad POSIX library...
I'll certainly check with the FreeBSD folks.  We pick up a new Perl every 6
months or so from perl.org and this is the first time anything like this has
happened, and -all- of our development is in Perl.  I hope that's it - got
to get these new stores up.

In reply to Stefan and Ed's questions, no, there were -no- IC error.log
messages produced by the error.

Thanks guys!
Glenn.
