Re: [Evolution] v0.3.1 doesn't like my birthday (Date problem with contacts when saving changes via Icon)

[Joshua Reilly <jreilly apu edu>]

I've seen this before.  My guess is they are using the unix time stamp,
and are setting hours, mins, & seconds to 0, and the day doesn't actually
start till the 1st second.  There for it ends up subtracting 1 day when
you write the data.  At least that's what the problem was with my code
that did that same thing.
