Number formatting / calculation all wrong in Writer with Base date fields

Hi,

As usual, the 2 day date bug has come back to haunt us once again. See, 
for example Issue 61949.

This bug also manifests itself in any date calculation that relies on 
data from a db date field when such data is included in a Calc or (as in 
my user's case scenario) Writer.


I have now had reports of the YEAR and MONTH functions, when used in 
Writer merge fields on date values obtained from a DB, incorrectly 
displaying the whole date instead of the value for the year or the month 
respectively, while testing OOo 2.0.3 rc3 FR. Has the number format 
module been hosed again ?
