The two following uses of the mktime function return entirely different values:

  mktime ("12","00","00","09","27","2000");
  mktime (12,00,00,09,27,2000);

The first returns "Sep-27-2000" as it should, but the second returns "Dec-27-1999" which is completely wrong. If I enter variables as the arguments, that works fine. It only seems to not work when the arguments aren't in double quotes.

This isn't a bug. 09 is a number in octal notation, and also a non-existent octal
number that will evaluate to 0. The 0th month of 2000 is considered to be
December 1999.
