 Yeah, this function is known to be broken.
 Currently it uses ctime() in its implementation.  This is just wrong,
 despite the reference to ctime() (in some Java documentation
 somewhere).

State-Changed-Why:
    I've checked in a fix for this.  Basically I rewrote
    Date.toString(); the current implementation was wrong
    in more than one way.
    Can you test this?
    If so, try it and get back to me.
    If not, tell me and I will just close the PR.
