Symptoms:
	PHCO_14799:

	Attempting to schedule an event on February 29th of any
	leap year would fail (it would be scheduled on March 1st)
	unless the system date itself was in a leap year.

	PHCO_13243:

	at(1) could not schedule events past December 31, 1999.

	e.g. at -f<file> 10:00 November 20, 2003

	gives a 'bad date' error.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_14799:

	at(1) was checking the current system date for leap year
	status, as opposed to the date actually specified when the
	at(1) command was invoked.

	PHCO_13243:

	The code for parsing dates with at(1) was not set up to
	handle dates past December 31, 1999.
