I'll have to dig into this, but it might be a rejection from the registry
since they calculate the end-day a little differently (they use 23:59:59
of the day you bought the domain - and that's just slightly over 10 years
unless you buy it AT 23:59:59).

Could be they have a leap year error in the creation of the domain, but
not in the checking algorithm (which would give you an extra day or two).
I'll find out - note that the SRS system merely submits "10" as the term
period to the registry :)
