Hello, I found a case where GNU date works pretty oddly.
At 2011-03-27 Finland moved to 'summer time'. After midnight at 2011-03-28
our web site's cron script did (date -I -d yesterday) which yielded
unexpected results:
$ date
Mon Mar 28 00:36:07 EEST 2011
$ date -I -d yesterday
2011-03-26
$ date -I -d '24 hours ago'
2011-03-26
Our scripts produced bad results due to this "feature/bug". Maybe our fault,
but this is definitely unexpected behaviour.
