>Description:
  Setting the date with /bin/date seems to get the time wrong
sometimes. Seems related to the time zone.

>How-To-Repeat:

	hedge# date 199911051202
	Fri Nov  5 11:02:00 CET 1999
	hedge# !!
	date 199911051202
	Fri Nov  5 12:02:00 CET 1999

  This is on an ancient 486/66.

>Fix:
  Try again until the time actually is what you wanted to set?
