RHL 6.2 x86
>Description:
The following program:

public class dateTest {
    public static void main (String [] args) {
        System.out.println(new java.util.Date (100,8,23).toString ());
    }
}

outputs:

  Sat Sep 23 01:00:00 GMT 2000

where I think it should output

  Sat Sep 23 00:00:00 PDT 2000

(I'm not sure about the PDT/GMT, but 01:00:00 seems wrong
since with the constructor I'm using; hours, minutes and
second are set to zero.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Build and run the test case.
>Fix:
I looked at the java.util.Date but didn't see anything
too obvious.

 We only have a stubbed Date class.  It only really handles GMT.
 We should handle this by importing Classpath code.
 This would be easiest if we could solve the CNI problem, because the
 code involves native methods.

 This test case crashes miserably with the current cvs. Something to do
 with the time zone.
