I can't comment on 2.0 behavior, since I don't have it running anywhere 
just yet. But I tried this on 1.5.something and 1.6.2 and get the same 
result that you did. I can get the result you *want* with 'date +%Y/%m/%d' 
on both of those systems. My reading of the man page for strftime(3) 
suggests that all is as it should be.
