Package: coreutils
Version: 6.10-6
Severity: normal

These results are correct:

  griffon:~$ date
  Sun Apr 20 09:44:18 EDT 2008
  griffon:~$ date -d 'Sun Apr 20 18:00:00 EDT 2008 -1 hour'
  Sun Apr 20 17:00:00 EDT 2008
  griffon:~$ date -d '18:00:00 EDT -1 hour'
  Sun Apr 20 17:00:00 EDT 2008

But if I leave off the time zone name, I get:

  griffon:~$ date -d '18:00:00 -1 hour'
  Sun Apr 20 15:01:00 EDT 2008
  griffon:~$ date -d '18:00:00 -4 hour'
  Sun Apr 20 15:04:00 EDT 2008
  griffon:~$ date -d '18:00:00 -5 hour'
  Sun Apr 20 15:05:00 EDT 2008

This is clearly not correct or useful behavior.
