Hi,
I believe I have come across a small bug in the date command when daylight
savings time is in the process of being run.
Example:
date --set "7 NOV 2010"
-->Sun Nov 7 00:00:01 EDT 2010
date --date="+1 day"
-->Sun Nov 7 23:00:40 EST 2010
It would appear in Eastern time zone case there is a small 2 hour window of
error here whereby the date command has set the zone before it is actually
supposed to be set. I have seen this with all time zone shifts. Noticed
first last weekend when BST went to GMT.
Could be a known bug.. if so, sorry to trouble you guys.
Best Regards,
Ray
