I noticed a rather strange phenomenon when executing the 'date' program. Since my local time zone is CET, I expect the time values output by 'date' and 'date -u' to differ by exactly one hour. But this is not the case, the difference is always 22 seconds less than that:
~/build/gnu/sh-utils-2.0 $ date -u; date Son Feb 2 17:13:49 UTC 2003 Son Feb 2 18:13:27 CET 2003 Is this a bug, or am I missing something? In case it matters, I am running Linux kernel version 2.4.20, glibc-2.3.1, date is from sh-utils-2.0: ~/build/gnu/sh-utils-2.0 $ date --version date (GNU sh-utils) 2.0 Written by David MacKenzie.
