Well...the daylight savings time was established on March 31, 1918 in the U.S. Maybe the solution you put for the DST before will help you fix the DOB problem too... :)

Yes, this is a similar problem. Something changed in time on
4/1/1918. A make up day? What ever it was, it is vexing when you
want to consider a date a date and not the point in time that Java
considers it. I don't have any good
solution other than to wait a few
more years... :-P
