The example you quote as being straight from the manual page is actually
from the user-submitted code snippets, and I can't find the
documentation to support it. I can only assume that it's possibly an
experimental thing, or something that shouldn't work but by freak
coincidence does occasionally. Maybe use mktime() instead to get the
dates?
