I suspect you're using version 1.12 or earlier of GNU sh-utils. This
works OK for me under both Red Hat 5.0 and 4.2:-
rh5.0 $ date --date '1 year 7 months 23 days 6 hours 38 minutes'
Fri Dec 31 23:59:56 GMT 1999
rh5.0 $ date --date '1 year 7 months 23 days 6 hours 38 minutes'
Sat Jan 1 00:00:00 GMT 2000
rh5.0 $ date --date '1 year 7 months 23 days 6 hours 38 minutes'
Sat Jan 1 00:00:03 GMT 2000
rh5.0 $ rpm -q $(rpm -qf /bin/date)
sh-utils-1.16-8
rh4.2 $ date --date '1 year 7 months 23 days 6 hours 38 minutes'
Sat Jan 1 00:02:17 GMT 2000
rh4.2 $ date --date '1 year 7 months 23 days 6 hours 30 minutes'
Fri Dec 31 23:54:23 GMT 1999
rh4.2 $ rpm -q $(rpm -qf /bin/date)
sh-utils-1.16-5
