The actual problem is the reverse of the original complaint.
Coreutils should reject a usage like 'date -d "Tue Jan 14 08:25:26 EDT
2008" +%s', because that time stamp is invalid. Coreutils is not
smart enough to correctly reject the time stamp now. Fixing this bug
would take some time and is low priority. In the mean time, though,
portable code shouldn't rely on invalid time stamps.
