It only occurs if you use generic names for input segments, allowing MakeNL to 
generate julian date extensions.  If your input segments are all specific 
filenames with extensions, the problem will not occur.

I agree that it needs to change.  In the short term, I will increase the age 
limit.  Removing it altogether will probably require a bit of rewriting.
