Re: Possible bug in 'date'

Incidentally-- if you leave off the "+1300" and use a 12-hour
(non-military) time (e.g. 7:54:39 PM), it DOES work. Watch this:

TWU:/home/fox/mailpull# date --date="Mon, 1 Oct 2001 7:54:39 PM"
Mon Oct  1 19:54:39 CDT 2001
TWU:/home/fox/mailpull# date --date="Mon, 1 Oct 2001 7:54:39 PM +1300"
date: invalid date `Mon, 1 Oct 2001 7:54:39 PM +1300'

So, it works when you use non-military time. It works when you use RFC-822
style numeric timezones... but not both.
