The problem is the failure of the Digital Clock date to follow the "Long 
date format" as selected in System Settings (as modified by options for 
the Digital Clock settings).  Since I have:

     WEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYY

my system was not working correctly before I patched it -- I had the 
same format as you did.  Because it was showing the same as yours.  Your 
format would be:

SHORTWEEKDAY DD SHORTMONTH

Is that what you have selected in System Settings?
