makethumbs tries a variety of means to find the times and dates of images. Some of these checks depend on filenames and directories, looking for date-like things in them.
Unfortunately, not everyone writes their dates in proper ISO 8601 format. In the US, the day March 8th is written 3/8 and the date March 8 2002 is written 3/8/02 or 3/8/2002. In many other parts of the world, this date would be written 8/3 or 8/3/02. Poor little makethumbs has no way to tell what part of the world it is running in, so it assumes that it might be running in the US, and will interpret a date like 3/8/2002 as March 8th 2002.
If you don't live in the US, you should probably set this variable to 0 so makethumbs doesn't misinterpret a date in your files or directories. Or you can move to the US, whatever works best for you.
usa_specific_date_format_checks is a boolean variable; set it to 0 to indicate that dates should not be interpreted in the US order.
