Hi Ben,

sorry but I can't see the problem in Octave.app 2.9.17 running on an IA32 Mac:

   octave-2.9.17:1> datevec("09/07/00")
   ans =
    2000      9      7      0      0      0
   octave-2.9.17:2> datevec("09/13")
   ans =
    2007      9     13      0      0      0
   octave-2.9.17:3> datevec("15:38:09")
   ans =
    2007     12      4     15     38      9
   octave-2.9.17:4> datevec("3:38:09 PM")
   ans =
    2007     12      4     15     38      9
   octave-2.9.17:5> datevec("15:38")
   ans =
    2007     12      4     15     38      0
   octave-2.9.17:6> datevec("03:38 PM")
   ans =
    2007     12      4     15     38      0
   octave-2.9.17:7> datevec("03/13/1962")
   ans =
    1962      3     13      0      0      0
   octave-2.9.17:8> test datevec
   PASSES 11 out of 11 tests
