Hi, uutils mainteners
that was the part 2 of the issue that double EST ESTand MEST EST accepted by uu now fixed, but still that edge case
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ gnudate -d 'Jan 23 6:00PM GMT-1 EST'
gnudate: invalid date ‘Jan 23 6:00PM GMT-1 EST’
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ ./date -d 'Jan 23 6:00PM GMT-1 EST'
Fri Jan 23 06:00:00 PM EST 2026
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$
that make nonsense GMT-1 and EST there are two different time zones, that uu must suspose say invalid date
and next we found another issue in uu date
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ gnudate -d '023-060 MEST'
gnudate: invalid date ‘023-060 MEST’
relunsec@relunsec:~/software/coreutils/target/debug$ ./date -d '023-060 MEST'

the parser confused and produced wrong dates
