Marc Stewart, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu
better. As per mentioned OOo website and attached example.ods, the

I can confirm this in LibreOffice 3.3.

but putting 10/10/2009 into cell B3 and doing =DAYS(Now(), B3) seems to work OK.
I also have Openoffice 3.1 running under Xubuntu 9.1 and this works as
expected.
