Jim,
     Strcat[date,'/0']; is not the way to null terminate a string.  Strcat
assumes the string pointed to by date is already null terminated.  It searches
along it until it finds a null (from the output it obviously doesn't find a
null until it's searched along several characters beyond the space set aside
for the string).  It then tacks on the second string, a null string in this
case, at that position.  To null terminate date all you need do is explicitly
assign the null: date[5]=0;
