That is indeed very bizarre.  I cannot imagine a situation that would
create such behavior.  Can we get a second opinion?  Try this:

  date -u; date;perl -e 'print scalar(localtime(time())), "\n";'

Version 2.0 is rather old.  But regardless I have not seen anyone
report such behavior with that version.

If you would be so kind as to test against the current version of date
it would probably help.  The latest release of coreutils is here:
