Re: Date problem on Aix jdk1.4.1

Thanks Oliver!    The driver you sent me worked correctly on aix!

Is there a plan for an official (or somewhat official) driver release
soon?

Not sure; 365 is certainly wrong though.

I also see a slight difference in the timezone info (transitions=139 vs.
transitions=235) but I don't think that should cause any difference in
theory.

Hm, I can only guess that it's some difference in Calendar behaviour
between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 then..

I'll send you a build of the driver with my pending timestamp changes
included -- there are lots of changes in the date parsing area and I'm
interested whether they change the behaviour you see or not.
