Incorrect date/time

Continuing a conversation I was having (since corrected my email address so
the mailing list manager will accept my posts... :-)

I've run some tests.  Here's the appropriate line from kannel.conf:

# The default service
group = sms-service
keyword = default
exec = "/usr/local/kannel/send_squeezy_sms.pl '%q' '%t' '%a'"
omit-empty = true

The script puts the data into a database and uses an external provider to
issue the response SMS.  What ends up in the database is this:

The date off the SMS:     1902-02-05 17:41:40
The actual received date: 2002-09-27 13:13:13

The times are correct as I send the message myself and it arrives a few
seconds later, but that shouldn¹t account for the massive difference.  Next,
I tried this:

group = sms-service
keyword = datetest
text = "%t"

And I get the response text message from the gateway:

1902-02-05+20:20:37

The message was sent at 3:59pm local time today.  I can only assume that
kannel is misinterpreting the date on the message.  I've got a similar
response from three different models of phone on three different networks.

Any clues?
