new java dst bug

[daniel.robert at acm.org (Danny)]

Code:
-------
public class Test
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println(new java.util.Date());
    }
}
-------

This file must be named Test.java
To compile, type "javac Test.java -source 1.3 -target 1.3"
   (this should allow it to be run on any version of java beginning as  
low as 1.3)
To run, type "java Test"

You should compile it with the version you plan on testing

I wasn't aware of a "new bug in java's dst patch"...how new are we talking?
