System: NetBSD hermit.home.cs.tu-berlin.de 1.4P NetBSD 1.4P (LABITZKE) #7: Sun Dec 19 22:49:16 CET 1999 hermit@hermit.home.cs.tu-berlin.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/LABITZKE i386


>Description:
	date allows the specification of a user defined format. But instead
	of replacing the standard format, the user format is appended to the
	standard format. The result is, that both the normal date output and
	the user defined output appear.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	$ date "+%c%m%d %H%M"

	$
	
>Fix:
	No idea. The code seemed okay to a quick look. Perhaps some compiler 
	optimization that shouldn't occur?
