There was a time-parsing bug somewhere, where mktime() got invoked on a 
UTC date.  I proposed changing it to curl_gettime() instead.

Here's a patch to switch to using curl_getdate():

Another dependency :-(   I can live without http-pull but not
without commit-tree.

What's wrong with the patch I sent to fix this:

+	/* find the timezone at the end */
+	p = date + strlen(date);
+	while (p > date && isdigit(*--p))
+		;
+	if ((*p == '+' || *p == '-') && strlen(p) == 5)
+		snprintf(result, maxlen, "%lu %5.5s", then, p);

This will choke on dates from Linus which have a trailing comment:
