After upgrading from Date version 2.7 to 2.8, the server throws the following warning multiple times on every page load:
warning: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTime, boolean given in date.module on line 621.

PHP version is 5.2.6
The problem occurs with the 6.x-2.x-dev version as well.

Unfortunately, the problem only occurs on this specific server (all other sites upgraded fine), so I'm not sure how easy it is to reproduce.

I can confirm this issue. I unwisely updated to the dev branch as of February 9 and then reverted back to 6.x-2.8 (because of other bugs) but I am still seeing this PHP warning. Since I updated to the dev branch first it is possible that update caused this issue with a database change.

I am also seeing this problem on my site. It doesn't happen on every page, but on a page with a view listing events that have a date in them. I am using PHP 5.3. so I don't think its related to the PHP version. I'm seeing it for line 620 and line 621. I'll try to investigate further and get more details.

At the same time, when I edit the events on this page, I now have to set the time to be 5 hours ahead (I'm in the eastern time zone) whenever I save the events so that the time shows up correctly. I don't know if this bug is related to the above, but the coincidence is that this other date problem also showed up at the same time.

Unfortunately the Drupal 6 version of the Date module is no longer supported. That said, we appreciate that you took time to work on this issue. Should this request still be relevant for Drupal 7 please feel free to reopen it. Thank you.
