It should be Nov 2.

I can't reproduce this, but it can't be a coincidence that daylight saving rules switched last weekend in America/New_York, and the given query spans the transition.

By giving an explicit time-of-day can you narrow down where the problem occurs? e.g.

$ date -d"01:00 2009-10-31 + 2 days"


Cheers,
