$ date -d '500 years ago'Only the last one produces invalid date on RedHat 6.0. As you suggested, the dates produced don't appear in the corresponding months of cal.
Now use cal to get a calendar of that month. Do days of the week correspond?
Another experiment on your SL box:
$ date -d 1752-09-10
This should give an error message, since (in Britain and its Dependencies) this date did not exist. Does it?
$ date -d 1900-02-29
This date didn't exist in the Gregorian calendar. (No leap year in years divisible by 100 unless they are also divisible by 400.) Did date give an error?
