The "-5" option to gendaymtx is there specifically for the 5-phase method, as you probably know, and isn't properly documented. Also undocumented was a recent change (last December) when an argument was added to this option for the angular subtense (diameter) of the solar disk, which was formerly fixed at 0.53 degrees. This was added to accommodate some anticipated need that escapes my memory, but Andy McNeil would know.
Your errors are all due to the argument reading being messed up because of the missing argument to -5. If you want the old behavior, use "-5 .5", ugly as that is!
