I am sure this one is upstream - and it's absolutely weird.  This should 
explain all:

l...@ncpws04:~$ date --date=1981-12-31
Thu Dec 31 00:00:00 MALT 1981
l...@ncpws04:~$ date --date=1982-01-01
date: invalid date `1982-01-01'
l...@ncpws04:~$ date --date=1982-01-02
Sat Jan  2 00:00:00 MYT 1982
l...@ncpws04:~$ date --date=1981-01-01
Thu Jan  1 00:00:00 MALT 1981
l...@ncpws04:~$ date --date=1983-01-01
Sat Jan  1 00:00:00 MYT 1983

I discovered this one because I had a script that ran through all dates from 
jan 1st 1950 to dec. 31 2009.  Within that range, jan 1st 1982 is the only 
date failing.
