I just ran into a very closely related bug in an existing website that probably
subtly impacts a lot of other websites as well.  The following script should
show exactly the same date in both cases, and in FireFox and IE, it does.  In
Safari, it subtracts four minutes instead of four hours!

Please spend some time on the date parser and fix these issues....

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        var mydate = new Date("4/13/2008 12:00 AM GMT-4");
        var mydate_b = new Date("4/13/2008 12:00 AM GMT-0400");

        document.write(mydate + ' = ' + mydate_b);
</script>
