/usr/sbin/periodic security check changing date format

[Mike Clarke]

The daily security check run by /usr/sbin/periodic has started to change 
the date format when checking suid files with the result that all the 
files are flagged as changed.

On Wednesday I had the following ...

curlew.lan setuid diffs:
--- /var/log/setuid.today       2010-06-06 09:01:14.000000000 +0100

Anacron wasn't running yesterday so the next report was today when it 
switched back from "day month" to "month day"...

And I'm sure I haven't made any changes to the system in the last few 
days which might cause this format change.
