Here it shows 'Sun Oct 28 02:59:59 KRAST 2007' really (cut-n-paste error, mea culpa). Take a note of zone name, KRAST stands for 'KRAsnoyarsk Summer Time' and KRAT stands for 'KRAsnoyarsk Time' (winter one). > > That's last second of Summer time in this time zone. > > > > # LC_ALL=C TZ=Asia/Krasnoyarsk date -f %s $unixtime > > Sun Oct 28 02:59:59 KRAT 2007 > > > > That's an hour later after the switch from Summer time, > > but how can it be?

Yes, but "02:59:59 KRAT" is one hour (minus one second) later than "02:00:00 KRAT", the latter equals to "03:00:00 KRAST", so the first invocation of 'date' command shows time an hour before time the second invocation shows. However, unixtime is the same. That bothers me, something is wrong.
