on my freeBSD box (i haven't tested on linux), minting with "-z" has no 
effect. hashcash will mint stamps with a 6 digit date field regardless of 
what value i provide for "-z"... as long as it's an even number between 2 
and 12... outside of that range (or an odd number) will produce an error.

$ hashcash -qb 2 -mXr FOO-BAR -z 2
X-Hashcash: 1:2:040901:foo-bar::18d4e01c31afe03b:7

$ hashcash -qb 2 -mXr FOO-BAR -z 4
X-Hashcash: 1:2:040901:foo-bar::2790ab8ac63bde92:4

$ hashcash -qb 2 -mXr FOO-BAR -z 6
X-Hashcash: 1:2:040901:foo-bar::85b3d32d4636247f:1

$ hashcash -qb 2 -mXr FOO-BAR -z 8
X-Hashcash: 1:2:040901:foo-bar::da7c7cad2d0330a8:1

$ hashcash -qb 2 -mXr FOO-BAR -z 10
X-Hashcash: 1:2:040901:foo-bar::2e93e4008002ace3:6

$ hashcash -qb 2 -mXr FOO-BAR -z 12
X-Hashcash: 1:2:040901:foo-bar::3ed77d109d192346:0
