REMIND 2.2 Patch.01

This is Patch 1 for remind version 2.2.  It fixes a serious bug; you
are strongly recommended to apply it.

Certain date specifications could cause remind to enter an infinite
loop; this patch fixes it.  It also corrects a couple of typos in
the man page.

Extract the file patch.01 from the shar into the remind source directory;
type "patch < patch.01" and then type make.

Thanks go to Dave Buck {aeras,amdahl,ardent,daver,netcom,sun,zygot}!dlb!dave
for this bug report and fix.
