>Description:

	In 1.1.5.1, the command 'date "+%s"' prints '800661335' (for some
	number of seconds).  In 2.0, the same command prints 's'.  The man
	page for `date' refers me to the man page for `strftime'.  The man
	page for `strftime' documents `%s' as an "extension".  I haven't
	tried to call `strftime' directly.

>Fix:
	
	Change the documentation, or change the code.
