I modified the heuristic that determines the canonical time of a 
data-product from the product's creation-time and the day-of-month field 
in the product-identifier.  I did this because the heuristic was shown 
to misbehave in a particular situation.  The modification did work, but 
it caused the heuristic to misbehave in other situations.  My bad.

I think the (further modified) heuristic in version 6.6.2 should work 
correctly (of course, I thought that about the other modifications :-). 
  Please let me know if LDM 6.6.2 does misfile a WMO data-product due to 
the day-of-month field.  This is most likely to occur near the month 
transitions.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
