I'm seeing an apparent bug in the 2006.0 timezone (and glibc) update that only affects Java code. The 'date' command shows the correct time. C code that uses gettimeofday() and localtime() gets the correct time. However, Java code that uses Calendar.getInstance() is now returning the time in UTC, while it has always returned the time in the local time zone. I'm using j2sdk-1.4.2_09-1mdk and j2re-1.4.2_09-1mdk supplied by Mandriva, in the club commercial area IIRC. Any suggestions before I file a bug report? Thanks.
