The PHP 5.1.0 Upgrade Guide, makes no mention of changes to strtotime(), but don't let that fool you.

5 hours of debugging later. I've tracked down a bug on Tribe that was caused by the way freakin strtotime() no longer correctly handled the way I was passing a date to it. But seriously it's my fault, since burried in the changelogs is this helpful entry:
Rewrote strtotime() with support for timezones and many new formats. Implements feature requests #21399, #26694, #28088, #29150, #29585 and #29595. (Derick)
How could I have foolishly not interpreted that to mean "hey your code is about to screw the date up by 5 days cause it no longer likes your date format!".... !$!@%^%
