>Description:
	It seems that the "at" command does something funny when trying
	to parse future times containing a name of a day.
>How-To-Repeat:
	give the following command
	  csh> at 08:15 friday
	  at: garbled time
>Fix:
	Linux (at least my S.u.S.E.-6.2 and reportedly RedHat 6.1)
	versions do the right thing. Suggest looking at them.
