Description:
------------
I use this code to generate timestamp for current and last month and everything worked fine until yesterday (31 October 2007). 

Today everything came back to normal - but when I set the date to yesterday on my system it keeps getting back. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo date('Y-m', strtotime('now')) . "\n";
echo date('Y-m', strtotime('-1 month'));

Expected result:
----------------
2007-10
2007-09

Actual result:
--------------
2007-10
2007-10

There was very similiar bug to this one reported over 2 years ago, but since no one seems to have found a solution, I'm resubmitting just to remind you about it.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

2007-10-31 -1 month = 2007-09-31, which turns into 2007-10-01.
