could you do a test against current base? You mention you are running a 
"company version" of GNUstep. I don't know how old, changed or otherwise 
different is from our current tree.

I just tried against my up-to-date installation and this is my result:

2017-03-16 09:59:42.480 DirectoryTest[18460:18460] dateStr = Jan 2, 
2001, 9:00:00 AM, refStr = Jan 2, 2001, 9:00:00 AM

This is consistent with your Mac output, isn't it? This is on Ubuntu 
with base configured using ICU.
