It thinks you're using Octal. I have this in my notes (egregiously
stolen from http://mywiki.wooledge.org ... but I don't have the exact
page, and it's throwing 502 at me ..)
August is the month when all your scripts break because you placed
$(date +%m) in a variable and tried to do arithmetic with it, without
removing the leading zeros. 08 is considered octal. Use $((10#$month))
to force decimal, or strip the zero.
Hope it helps :)
