Thank you!
That bug is also present in coreutils-5.2.1.
Here's a fix:
2004-03-15 Jim Meyering <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
`date --date="21:04 +0100" +%S' would print the seconds value
from the current time, rather than `00'.
* getdate.y: For a date string like `10:23 +0100',
set the number of seconds to zero. Reported by Marc Haber.
