Subject: time screwed up with Linux-jdk1.3.1?

Has anyone heard anything about the clock being screwed up under linux
emulation, or in the linux-jdk1.3.1?

If I run this code:

public class TestTime {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        System.out.println("The current time is: " 
                           + new java.util.Date(System.currentTimeMillis()));
    }
}

I get the following output:
         The current time is: Thu Jul 05 13:54:02 GMT-05:00 2001

When I run date immediately following running the java command, I get:
         Thu Jul  5 14:54:06 EDT 2001

If I run the same program under jdk1.2.2, I get the correct time
         The current time is: Thu Jul 05 13:54:08 EDT 2001

It seems to be a difference in the time zone only.  The native FreeBSD
jdk1.2.2 seems to know about EDT, or at least it knows that that's what my
clock is set to, but the linux jdk seems to think that my clock is set
to GMT-5:00.

Has anyone else seen/solved this problem?
