GregorianCalendar not equal when read from space

Hi,

Here is my problem. I write to the space a
GregorianCalendar and when I read it back, it is not
equal to the initial entry.
If I write a GregorianCalendar without the
SimpleTimeZone, it is equal. If I write only a
SimpleTimeZone it is also equal.
It seems to me like it is a bug in Java itself but
just want to see if anyone have seen this before. I
use the latest version of Java (1.6.0.01) and Jini2.1
plain.

Here is the code:
=================
  JavaSpace space = SpaceAccessor.getSpace();
  TestEntry testEntry = new TestEntry();
  Calendar now = new GregorianCalendar( new
SimpleTimeZone( 0, "GMT" ) );
  testEntry._test = now;
  try {
     space.write(testEntry, null, Long.MAX_VALUE);
     TestEntry result = (TestEntry)space.read(new
TestEntry(), null, Long.MAX_VALUE);
     Calendar cal = (Calendar)result._test;
//If this is enabled, it is equal...
//   cal.setTimeZone(new SimpleTimeZone( 0, "GMT" ) );
     logger.debug("FROM SPACE:"+cal);
     logger.debug("ORIGINAL:"+now);
     logger.debug("EQUALS?:"+cal.equals(now));

Here is the output:
===================

I appreciate any pointer anyone can give me.
Thanks
