Actually it's the other way around.  get_date is an odd function - it 
expects a string in local time & returns a time_t in UTC.  Because in 
this case it's being passed a UTC string from the server, it returns a 
time_t offset by negative localtime, then when you call localtime you 
get UTC back.

..which shows it's working OK.
