Hi!
Found a bug in the date:

Version used:
-------------
date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0
Written by David MacKenzie
(from the SuSE 8.0 distribution)

Bug description:
----------------
Wenn called in the form
date -d <string>
the time zone "CEST" in the string
is recognized as +0100 instead of +0200

Example:
=== cat ===
bmaizel@tibidabo:~> date
Wed Sep 24 20:57:15 CEST 2003
bmaizel@tibidabo:~> date -d "Wed Sep 24 20:57:15 CEST 2003"
Wed Sep 24 21:57:15 CEST 2003
=== cat ===
In the second call you can see the time displayed
is 21:57 instead of 20:57.
