Bug in the GNU date extension

[Pham, Chau - Contractor]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if this is a bug with the GNU date extension

 

$  TZ="GMT" /usr/local/bin/date "+%s %H:%M"

1128016378 17:52

$ TZ="EST5EDT" /usr/local/bin/date "+%s %H:%M"

1128016380 13:53

 

As you can see the date +%s gives the same value no matter what the TZ is.
