Hi team,

I found this "bug" maybe I am lazy to look through the info document.

Correct:
	$ TZ=UTC date -d "15:00 BST"
	Mon May 26 14:00:00 UTC 2014

Correct:
	$ TZ=UTC date -d "15:00 EST"
	Mon May 26 20:00:00 UTC 2014

Correct:
	$ TZ=UTC date -d "15:00 JST"   (Japan Standard Time)
	Mon May 26 06:00:00 UTC 2014

Wrong:
	$ TZ=UTC date -d "15:00 CST"   (China Standard Time)
	Mon May 26 21:00:00 UTC 2014

So the problem is with "CST" in the date STRING.

Thanks,
