That's almost exactly what I get with R 2.11.1, LINUX (minus the
one-day differnce which is probably correct, too lazy to count leap
years...):

> as.Date(36525, origin="1900-01-01'")
[1] "2000-01-02"

At first I thought the excess single quote maight be causingyour
problem, but it doesn't for me.

Maybe you need to upgrade R? Possibly it's an already fixed issue?
