While I haven't encountered the short & long day problem, there is a severe problem with the convert command if your system uses daylight-saving. Basically, EVERY call to the convert command, adds an hour to the time converted, if daylight saving is on. There are numerous reports in bugzilla about various date conversion problems (62, 816, 1124, 1162) and I am trying to get the folks at RunRev to see this as a critical problem.
I just looked at the above bugs. I get the same results as were reported with #62; that is, I get a 2 instead of a 0 when converting a plain date to date items when no time is specified.
The others work okay for me though, and I don't see any extra hour added to the conversion results. I'm in daylight time right now in the U.S. Could it be related to time zones outside the U.S.?
I guess - I'll have to do more tests. Perhaps setting my location to Edinburgh and then proving a problem might get me somewhere :-)
