bug#16606: date command throws error when DST is turned on |

Hi,
The date command throws error when the DST is turned on.
# date +%s -d "2013/11/20"
1384912800
# date +%s -d "2013/10/20"
date: invalid date `2013/10/20'
1 sec after Oct 19 23:59:59 2013 becomes Oct 20 01:00:00 2013
As there is no 0th hour on Oct 20, it shows invalid date.
Are there any options to fix this problems ?
Has there been a patch posted for this.
#date
Sun Mar 10 07:02:07 BRT 2013
# zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2013
/etc/localtime Sun Feb 17 01:59:59 2013 UTC = Sat Feb 16 23:59:59 2013 BRST
isdst=1 gmtoff=-7200
/etc/localtime Sun Feb 17 02:00:00 2013 UTC = Sat Feb 16 23:00:00 2013 BRT
isdst=0 gmtoff=-10800
/etc/localtime Sun Oct 20 02:59:59 2013 UTC = Sat Oct 19 23:59:59 2013 BRT
isdst=0 gmtoff=-10800
/etc/localtime Sun Oct 20 03:00:00 2013 UTC = Sun Oct 20 01:00:00 2013 BRST
isdst=1 gmtoff=-7200
Thanks,
