Aha -- this explains a problem I've noticed with Braner's AUTODISK,
which I think uses Pratt's code for setting the date -- I frequently
note that the date ends up as yesterday, but I've never been sure when
or how it happened, so I haven't mailed a bug report to Moshe.  Is this
really the cause?  If so, Moshe, can you fix it?
