[Zope] TimeError when using fmt="%Y-%m-%d"

[Jean Jordaan]

Hi all

This snippet generates a TimeError (I've appended the traceback
below)::

  <input
      name="FirstContactDate"
      value="<dtml-var FirstContactDate fmt="%Y-%m-%d">"
      size="10">

This, however, works fine::

  <input
      name="FirstContactDate"
      value="<dtml-var FirstContactDate fmt="year"
           >-<dtml-var FirstContactDate fmt="month"
           >-<dtml-var FirstContactDate fmt="day">"
      size="10">

The fmt="%Y-%m-%d" idiom works fine elsewhere in my code.
Any idea what might be wrong with the first snippet above?

Regards,
Jean Jordaan
