Possible bad (incorrect) JavaHL test inserted into 1.5.x

Yesterday we created a new class called LogDate that goes with some
recent API catch up that was committed to 1.5.x I created a test case
for this class and it was backported.

One of the things the test does is parse a sample of a Subversion date
into the time in microseconds. The way I wrote the test is I ran it
once so that it would fail and then copied the right value into the
test so that it would work. I think that something about my test
might make it only work in the Eastern Time Zone. Since I am in the
Eastern time zone it makes it hard for me to test.

The reason I think this is that I just had my Windows PC set to GMT
and ran the tests and it failed. When I put it back to EDT then it
works. This could also be some weird Windows bug. I just wanted to
give a heads up. If that test fails for you, then this might be the
reason why.

The reason I set my PC to GMT is just so that I get the right
date/time stamps on our files when I unzipped the RC6 distribution. I
had forgotten to set it back before I built and ran the tests.

Like I said, there might not be a problem here. That said, in this class:

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/javahl/src/org/tigris/subversion/javahl/LogDate.java

When it creates a Calendar object, I wonder if it should get it
specifically with the GMT timezone?
