513914 - ecma_5/Date/15.9.4.2.js failing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 513115

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Jason Orendorff [:jorendorff]]

It was checked in last Wednesday and I don't know if it ever passed. I suspect it's the test that is buggy, but either way we need to not let the tests stay broken for days and days like this.

*-* Testcase ecma_5/Date/15.9.4.2.js failed:
Bug Number 430930

Failure messages were:

This is a duplicate of Bug 513115.

It is difficult to say as the specification is very under defined, but in my opinion the test is correct and the code is buggy. It works in any time zone except those where it is both the northern hemisphere and currently daylight saving time. That is, it works in the southern hemisphere at any time, and in the northern hemisphere in winter.

I am on vacation until next week and don't have access to a machine that can build at the moment.
