I see the same failure on Windows XP:

Incorrect result: Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 GMT+01:00 1970
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Incorrect result: Thu Jan 01 
01:00:00 GMT+01:00 1970 at 
tests.api.java.util.DateTest.test_toString(DateTest.java:432) at 
java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject.invokeV(AccessibleObject.java:25)

Regards,
Oliver
