[flexcoders] new Date() not producing current date

[Jurgen Beck]

I am tracking down the source of an issue with the Date() class.

It seems that the following line should be producing today's date:

var now:Date = new Date();

However, when running this today (8/27/2007), the resulting date object 
contains values for 7/1/2007.

Has anyone run into this issue? Is this a bug?

Thanks,

Jurgen
