thanks!!! apparently so... i did a quick "'ps' search" shell script,
and apparently the version of sed that was called was plan9 sed -
'/opt/plan9/bin/sed'. Did a "quick test" by symlinking plan9's sed to
the regular sed, and what'dyaknow, it worked!! My date display is now
in the proper format i want....

thanks!!!! I'll probably implement my fix later (no, not to move with
plan9 sed, but to call my own regular sed instead. And dont worry -
i'll put back that original plan9 sed ;))
