Short Description
Date Representation Bug. Timezone and update on an already posted as #208 reportbug

Long Description
The problem of date representation of 22/05/1977 and 28/05/1978 is
related with time zone. 

The system is a Linux RedHat 6.2 (also tested on Redhat 7.0 and 7.1) with postegresql 6.5 and 7.1.

ONLY 22/05/1977 and 28/05/1978 are bad recorded into the db. This dates are stored (or retrieved) as 21/05/1977 ans 27/05/1978 respectively. ALL other date correcly stored.

If I modify my timezone from MET (DayLight Saving Time Enabled) to PDT 
the bug disappears.
