 I just realized that I didn't include a time in the '' quoted portion.

 This fails with a legal time string in the quotes. 

 I've been off line for a bit so didn't notice it before

 Apologies, for the mistake.

 ps: I had  traced this as far  as the stime  call in libc but  didn't
 have a libc with debugging symbols installed at the time.
