Here's what I did to fix the date/time problem.  Note that the problem =
isn't
the month names, it's whether the month name appears before or after =
the day
number...

(setq dired-re-month-and-time
      (let* ((mth (concat "\\("
			  (mapconcat 'identity
				     '("Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" "May" "Jun"
				       "Jul" "Aug" "Sep" "Oct" "Nov" "Dec")
				     "\\|")
			  "\\)"))
	     (date "[ 0-3][0-9]")
	     (time "[012][0-9]:[0-6][0-9]")
	     (year " ?[12][90][0-9][0-9] ?")
	     (mth-date (concat "\\(" mth " " date "\\)"))
	     (date-mth (concat "\\(" date " " mth "\\)")))
	(concat " "
		"\\("  date-mth "\\|" mth-date "\\)"
		" "
		"\\(" time "\\|" year "\\)"
		" ")))

(setq efs-month-and-time-regexp dired-re-month-and-time)


And this fixed the characterp problem...

	(defalias 'characterp 'integerp)

I'll look forward to 1.18 coming out.  Real Soon Now?

There's no way to fix it that I know of---EFS needs a list of valid
month names, and there doesn't seem to be a portable way to get it.

I think the only issue with 20.3 is `characterp', which should be an
alias for `integerp'.  EFS 1.18 (basically done, out one of these
days) doesn't use `characterp' anymore.
