[NTLK] Strange Behaviors...

My MP2100 has started having strange behaviors relating to Dates/ 
Dateman in the past couple of weeks:

Repeating To Do Items:

  - Last week, I noticed that existing repeating To Do items are not  
listed as repeating items in the editing slip.  They are showing up  
as 'Don't repeat'.  I get the same thing whether I freeze Dateman or  
not.  The relevant items _are_ listed in SAI's ToDo Cleaner as  
repeating, and they _do_ repeat on schedule (maybe, see below), but  
they don't show up on future dates.

  - Trying to delete one of these repeating ToDos deletes that  
particular item, but I do not get the slip with a selection to delete  
future ones (the slip has different options if DateMan is active, but  
doesn't appear regardless for these items).

  - I'm not absolutely sure, but I think these were items that were  
scheduled as 'ongoing' - But one that triggered today seems to be  
fine.  Go figure...

  - It appears that some of my repeating ToDos are/were triggering at  
the wrong date (too frequently).  Case in point is an item that I  
have scheduled monthly to clean my fish tank.  It has shown up 3  
times in the past week.  This _may_ be related to items that were not  
completed on the due date.  I also do see what appear to be multiple  
listing of all my repeating ToDos in ToDo Cleaner.

  - It appears that I can edit these and get the repeating ToDos to  
return to 'normal', in that they show up on future dates, and when I  
go to delete one, I get the delete options slip.

I am tempted, given that I only have about 8 or 9 repeating ToDos, to  
just wipe them all and start over, but thought I would mention this  
in case it is not an isolated case.

Time/Date:

  - This morning, my clock was set to Jan 1, 2008, and the time was  
early by two hours.  Confused the heck out of me, especially since I  
went into Dates to check on the above mess.
