[Remind-Fans] Bug: date_spec and the turn of the year

Hi,

I think I've identified a bug in remind, but this could be a figment 
of my 02:30 imagination.  Can someone confirm that this is not 
expected behaviour?

Following on from Guido's recent enquiry about week numbers, I wanted 
a way to trigger a reminder on "the first Monday on or after 29 Dec".  
If I'm not mistaken, this can be done by:

     REM Mon 29 Dec MSG The first Mon on or after 29 Dec

However, using:

     % remind -s120 ./test.rem 01 Jan 2000

shows that if this Monday happens to be in January of the next year, 
it simply isn't triggered.  Is this a bug?  I'm running the latest 
version (03.01.05).

Regards,
Andrew
