Sounds like a plausible bug but I have checked the current listings and 
it all looks fine. All the details for programs only downloaded this

I fetch six: today, tomorrow, day after, today + 5, today + 10, and 
anything off the end (day 13 usually).

Here is an important question which I didn't have time to explore. When

before or is it just on a certain day?
