Ugh. Approxidate strikes again:

  for i in 2014-11-01 2013-12-01 2014-12-01; do
    ./test-date approxidate $i
  done

produces:

  2014-11-01 -> 2014-11-01 09:35:19 +0000
  2013-12-01 -> 2013-12-01 09:35:19 +0000
  2014-12-01 -> 2014-01-12 09:35:19 +0000

The first two are right, but the fourth one is not. It's probably something simple and stupid.
