//NSString *compileDate = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s", __DATE__];
NSString *compileDate = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:__DATE__];

NSDateFormatter *df = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];

[df setDateFormat:@"MMM d yyyy"];   
//[df setDateFormat:@"MMM dd yyyy"];    

NSDate *aDate = [df dateFromString:compileDate];  

Ok, I give up. Why would aDate sometimes return as nil?

Should it matter if I use the commented-out lines... or their matching replacement lines?
