[BusyBox] Date function (again)

[Sid Wade]

One of my SQA people just pointed out an interesting feature to me.  If
I have /etc/TZ set to some zone indicating we have daylight time, in my
case PST8PDT, and I change the date/time from now (July) to sometime
after daylight time ends, say November, the result comes back an hour
earlier than the time I entered, as if we had actually ticked our way
across that time change.  Conversely, setting it back to July gives me a
time result one hour later than the string I put into the date command.
Is this expected behavior or a bug?
