Greetings,

I believe I have found a bug in the version of GNU 'date'
distributed with RedHat 7.1.

===  Version return:  ===
date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0
Written by David MacKenzie.

Here's the issue:
This command:
[datavortex@tetherball canned]$ date -d '6-2-2001 12:46:34 -500'

Returns this unwanted result:
Mon Jul 25 13:46:34 EDT 2011

I verified the issue on a box running Mandrake 8.0:

===  Version return:  ===
date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0
Written by David MacKenzie.

(datavortex) (28/pts) (16:51:06/19/01) ($:~)-  date -d '6-2-2001 12:46:34 -500'
Mon Jul 25 13:46:34 EDT 2011

Thanks for your attention.
