At 02:16 -0500 01/10/2004, Graff wrought:

The time reported by the date tool is 02:06:34, the time reported by AppleScript's date coercion is 10:02:06. This is because AppleScript's date coercion is mistakenly taking the 10 which leads the string "02:06:34" as the hour

This is particularly surprising considering how prevalent the Unix date string format is in computing and considering that Mac OS X now sits on top of Unix...

Perhaps Mr. Nebel will file it as a bug?
