Alex,

os.date uses strftime internally, and %F is specified by C99. Your Lua 
libraries must have been compiled with different options or compilers. 
This would also be a problem for Windows users, since IIRC VS doesn't 
support C99. I went through all the calls to os.date that used either %F 
or %c (locale-dependent date output) and replaced them with calls to 
stdnse.format_timestamp 
(http://nmap.org/nsedoc/lib/stdnse.html#format_timestamp) for 
consistency. Should be fixed in r30897.
