The date and time functions in EDB are broken ... bitrot. It's not
only an issue for Emacs 21.3, I've also seen it in 20.7.
The problem is that EDB defines its own date functions in the global
name space (i.e. without a proper package prefix). This is bound to
break sooner or later. The solution would be to go through EDB and
replace them with the built-in Emacs date & time functions.
