AddLines not working as expected

Nobody else has shown any interest in this  so I had a look at it.   
You are correct - using "M" as the bump parameter adds the expected  
number of new records but each is the first day of the expected month  
rather than the day specified in the start parameter.  Similarly, if  
"Y" is used as the bump parameter, each new record is the first day of  
the expected year.

Certainly a bug - Jim or Dave might like to confirm this.
