I have a strange behavior of the as.Date() function. For example:

I would expect to get 2000-01-01. But R gives me
That's almost exactly what I get with R 2.11.1, LINUX (minus the
one-day differnce which is probably correct, too lazy to count leap
years...):
as.Date(36525, origin="1900-01-01'")
[1] "2000-01-02"
At first I thought the excess single quote maight be causingyour
problem, but it doesn't for me.
Maybe you need to upgrade R? Possibly it's an already fixed issue?
Or perhaps it is a problem with the OS services on the unstated R
platform used (this will use strptime from the OS). The single quote
is definitely wrong, however.
