[request-tracker-maintainers] Bug#496827: request-tracker3.6: changing reminder dates is broken

[jc254dbts at newton.cam.ac.uk]

Package: request-tracker3.6
Version: 3.6.1-4
Severity: normal

As requested:
        webserver = apache-2.2
        backend = sqlite
        MTA = nullmailer


To reproduce using the web interface:

1. Create a new ticket.
2. Select "Reminders".
3. Create a new reminder with some date in the future (I used "2009-01-01").
4. Save.
   Reminder will be created, with the date given.
5. Now change the reminder date to something else (I used "2010-10-10").
6. Save.
   The date will now be set to "1970-01-01".


Incidentally, the original reminder shows up on the default "Home" page
("RT at a glance") even though it is in the distant future. This seems 
contrary to the purpose of a reminder, as it won't be noticed if it is 
always present even before it is due. I'm not sure if this is a bug or
just that I don't understand or know how to properly configure RT.
