I'm still running 4.0.5 because that is what my web host is running. Methinks there may be a problem here.
In the meantime I've tried storing the dates in the array in the original format in lieu of the fully converted format. I then reformat the original from the array as required for each page display or time difference calculation. This works fine, so I might stick with it. In hindsight, it is probaly the way I should have gone in the first place as you pointed out. That way I can play with the date, month and year any way I want. Thanks for you input.

I think you should break the dates manually, it would be the most sure way to do it.
