Using the date program in version 2.0 of the shell
utilities:
date -d "Oct 30, 1999" +%j
gives a result of 303, which is correct.
Omitting the comma in the datestring:
date -d "Oct 30 1999" +%j
gives a result of 304, which is off by a day.
The problem seems to be that getdate.y parses "Oct 30 1999" as
"month day hhmm" instead of "month day year".
I've added text just after line 327 of getdate.y which seems to
cure the problem. Here's a diff from the original getdate.y
