Sh-utils 2.0: date cannot convert +%s output back

[Andreas Schwab]

The last date example in the manual gives a way to convert seconds since
the epoch to a readable date.  But that does not work for dates during
which DST is in effect in the local timezone.  For example, in the
Europe/Berlin timezone:

$ date --date='2000-08-01 UTC' +%s
965088000
$ date -d '1970-01-01 965088000 sec' +"%Y-%m-%d %T %z"
2000-08-01 01:00:00 +0200
$ date -d '1970-01-01 UTC 965088000 sec' +"%Y-%m-%d %T %z"
2000-08-01 03:00:00 +0200
