Hi guys....
I have just downloaded and compiled "coreutils-5.2.1" just to get a real 'date' on
my OpenBSD 3.6 (x86, dell inspiron 4100).

But that 'date' got to be broken. Take a look at this:

   $ gdate -d "saturday 12:00"
   Sat Dec 11 12:00:00 CET 2004

   $ gdate -d "saturday 24:00"
   gdate: invalid date `saturday 24:00'

   $ gdate -d "saturday 23:59"
   Sat Dec 11 23:59:00 CET 2004

   $ gdate -d "sunday 00:01"
   Sun Dec 12 00:01:00 CET 2004

And it gets even more strange when one asking for calculations:

   $ gdate -d "sunday 00:01"
   Sun Dec 12 00:01:00 CET 2004
$ gdate -d "sunday 00:01 +3 hours"
   Sun Dec 12 01:58:07 CET 2004


You are welcome to contact me if you need more information.
Thanks for your time.
