But I guess what I'm saying here is that I did not change any such  
setting.  Whatever the setting is, it came that way out of the box.   
But, your point is taken.  So, is there a way to change this setting  
to see if it makes a difference?

It seems to me that it could be something in some bit of code that is  
taking %r literally, instead of as a variable representing time.  Thus  
%X == '%r', instead of %X == %r.  Like brent said, this may be  
happening late in the process where the the output is rendered in  
html...  but I can only speculate.  It seems to me, however, that if  
there is a way to do this independent of the C locale (or whatever),  
then maybe it should be implemented (brent had me use %c).  It seems I  
was not the only one bitten by this.  It is just that the others who  
had it were smarter than me and could fix it themselves :).
