If I write a simple program:

    import java.util.Date;

    public class DateTest
    {
        static void
        main (
         String args [])
        {
            Date now = new Date ();
            System.out.println ("Now = " + (now.getTime () / 1000));
        }
    }

And the run it:

    /tmp,5:05pm> java DateTest
    Now = 1013573273
    /tmp,5:07pm> date +%s
    1013573276

The results are what I expect it to be (ie 3 seconds difference from
when I ran the java program and when I typed in "date +%s"). So, from
what I see, there doesn't appear to be a problem with the Date object
at all.
