We detected a bug in the date program, which correlates to the daylight
savings time change. A day disappeared from the date program between
12:00 AM and 1:00 AM on 3/14/16. The date program began working as
expected immediately after 1:00 AM. Here is the bizarre output that I
got for basic commands on 3/14/16:
$ date -d -0days +%Y-%m-%d
2016-03-14
$ date -d -1days +%Y-%m-%d
2016-03-12
Notice that I was unable to obtain the expected output of 2016-03-13 for
the day prior. I was able to reproduce this using version 8.13 on
Debian, and 8.21 on Mint.
