Actually, the patch does not change the output of 'remind -s'.
It changes the '-s' switch, to accept the subflag 'a'. That means,
'remind -sa' produces the output needed for wyrd (there is another
patch for wyrd that uses '-sa' in the remind call instead of '-s).

David (remind's author) accepted the patch, and it will be included in
the next remind release.

I don't have problems with reminders from the past and my original
patch. Examples?
