Alexandre: 'now' shouldn't need to be fixed, because date will get the
system time and convert it to the proper date. The problem comes with
'stamp' using 'date -r' on a file on the system, which could conceivably
have the wrong date. Please correct me if I missed something.

As for coreutils, upstream (ie, not me or Ubuntu) has decided that the
time in question and other dates such as 'Feb 30' are wrong because they
don't exist and choose to express that as an error condition. As such,
we need to adjust our tools/scripts to account for this.
