FreeBSD aurora 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #54: Fri Jun 13 03:06:54 JST 1997
	sanewo@aurora:/usr/src/sys/compile/AURORA  i386

>Description:

	If timezone of the system is east to the GMT, rcs2log fails.

	If rcs2log can't find ChangeLog file, instead of using timestamp of ChangeLog,
	it uses "1970-1-1", which is passed to "cvs log" command.
	Because there is no timezone in the string, it assumes local timezone.
	For GMT, time_t for 1970-1-1 0:0:0 is 0. For timezones east to GMT, the value
	converted to time_t becomes nagative, which causes error.
	
>How-To-Repeat:

	(in the CVS controlled directory where no ChageLog file)
	(and make sure that you are live in eastern country)
	% /usr/share/examples/cvs/rcs2log
	cvs [log aborted]: Can't parse date/time: 1970-1-1
