According to address@hidden on 4/24/2008 12:01 PM:

| regards,

I don't think this is a coreutils bug, but probably a difference in
configuration of whether you are enabling leap second support between the
two machines.  But I personally don't know how to do that, so hopefully
someone else can step in and give more advice.
