I just fund a problem in sysutils shipped with fpc version 1.0.6-beta [2002/04/30].

The function FormatDateTime always returns 5 for the minutes.

This is an example:

uses sysutils;
begin
Writeln(FormatDateTime('YYYYMMDD hhmmss',now));
end.

tmp]$ ./a
20020520 140517

tmp]$ date
lun may 20 14:31:17 ART 2002

You have to use nn for minutes, not mm!

Writeln(FormatDateTime('YYYYMMDD hhnnss',now));
should work correctly

I checked the source code. The problem existed also in previous versions. I checked the source code and i found there is a function called TimeReFormat that converts the 'm' in 'n'. I think it should be 'N' instead of 'n'.
