Another option is to override the built-in date_format function with 
your own plugin that has more robust date handling such as PEAR::Date.  
To override built-in plugins, you can add an entry to the beginning of 
the plugins_dir array:

$tpl = new Smarty();
array_unshift($tpl->plugins_dir, '/my/plugins/dir/');
