date("r") prints current time in rfc822 format = 31 characters.
In "ext/standard/datetime.c" (line 491) these 31 chars are copied into a buffer
(tmp_buff) that is only 16 chars long.
On my machine this has caused segmentation faults on various occations.

Suggested patch:

--- datetime.c  Sun Dec 31 13:06:48 2000
+++ datetime_fixed.c    Sun Dec 31 13:04:41 2000
