Variations of date("<br>") returns wrong output or lets PHP
dump core. This bug has been reported by Christian Hamacher
in de.comp.lang.php, followups reported similar problems on
Win 98 and Win 2000.

Here on Linux 2.4.2 I see:

% echo '<?
$Date=date("d.m.Y <br> H:i:s");
echo "$Date\n";
?>' | php -q
03.03.2001 <bSat,  3 Mar 2001 12:16:42 +0100>
808132658:876230193:976367904

No core dump here if I run in the Bash, but wrong output.
In zsh, I get a core dump (and the wrong output):

% echo '<?
$Date=date("d.m.Y <br> H:i:s");
echo "$Date\n";
?>' | php -q
03.03.2001 <bSat,  3 Mar 2001 12:20:05 +0100>
808132661:809119794:976367904
zsh: done                              echo <?
$Date=date("d.m.Y <br> H:i:s");
echo "$Date\n";
?> |
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  php -q

If I ask for a "<b>" instead for "<br>", everything is ok.
Of course there are easy work-arounds (just use `echo
"<br>"' instead), but nevertheless.

The segfault bug is fixed in CVS already. 
FYI (from NEWS file):

- Added 'r' flag to date() which generates an RFC822 formatted date, e.g.
  "Thu,  9 Nov 2000 16:33:01 -0500" (Colin)
