I am confused by the date that gets returned by the shell.

As Trinidad isn't in the home cities list and the nearest city, Caracas, seems to be in a weird time zone, I set my home city to Halifax, which is in the same time zone as Trinidad: UTC-4.

~ $ date
Wed Jun 3 19:25:10 GMT+4 2009
~ $ date -R
Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:25:10 -0400
~ $ date -u
Thu Jun 4 23:25:11 UTC 2009


Surely the first of these should have said "GMT-4".

This may seem a trivial complaint, but I am having problems with a web page that uses today's date and my n800 is the only device/browser that gets it wrong.
