Hello Bob, thank you for your answer, but if I use
date --date="2009-10-19 00:00:01 AM" --rfc-822
I get the error:
date: invalid date `2009-10-19 00:00:01 AM'
and
> date --date="2009-10-19 0:00:01 AM" --rfc-822
date: invalid date `2009-10-19 0:00:01 AM'

So "AM" begin on 01:00:00 now?
Then you are not right with...

To get english error mesages I have set the system to en_US, but it is
NO difference to de_DE
If 00:00:01 is realy AM, then there s a bug in "date"
Can you check the date output on your system please?
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
