Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-06-10 15:43:13 UTC 
I'm getting the correct result on 7.3.
Comment 2 Mike McLean 2002-07-10 15:08:04 UTC 
Confirmed.  this bug seems confined to 7.1.  However it appears to be fixed in
7.2 on.

On the 7.1 machine, I get:
---
[root@i386-71 /root]# date -d "1018569600 sec jan. 1, 1970 utc"
Thu Apr 11 21:00:00 EDT 2002
[root@i386-71 /root]# date -d "Thu Apr 11 21:00:00 EDT 2002" +%s
1018573200
[root@i386-71 /root]# date -d "1018573200 sec jan. 1, 1970 utc"
Thu Apr 11 22:00:00 EDT 2002

And on the 7.2 machine I get:
---
[root@i386-72 root]# date -d "1018569600 sec jan. 1, 1970 utc"
Thu Apr 11 20:00:00 EDT 2002
[root@i386-72 root]# date -d "Thu Apr 11 20:00:00 EDT 2002" +%s
1018569600
