It should be fine from now on...  the time formats are stored in the
session cookie - a couple of constants were added in this version to
allow for setting default date/time formats differently between
european/american preferences.

The issue is that in php when a constant is unknown, instead of giving
it a null/undefined value, it interprets it as a string.  So the name
generic_time was interpreted as if the letters were date-formatting
values.

On that note, it's *always* a good idea to check config files for
updates between releases.
