There are many problems with the Calendar classes in JDK 1.1.7, and they are
not specific to Linux. As Chris Abbey has suggested, you can sometimes work
around them by setting the user.timezone property - however for many timezones
(New Zealand and Australian ones, for example), it will still screw up in other
ways. JDK 1.2 works much better in this respect.
