+Summary: DateTime.Parse (RFC1123) does not handle timezone
+
+Here's an example:
+
+using System;
+class Test
+{
+	public static void Main (string [] rgszArgs)
+	{
+		DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse ("Sat, 29 Oct 1994 12:00:00 
+GMT");
+		Console.WriteLine (dt);
+	}
+}
+
+On windows, with my timezone set to PDT (pacific + daylight), the above 
+program prints:
+10/29/1994 5:00:00 AM
+
+Whereas on my linux box I get:
+10/29/1994 12:00:00

+I tried uncommenting the 'useutc = true' in the 'r' case that handles
+known formats.
+
+Doing that, I get (GMT+2 right now):
+10/29/1994 13:00:00
+
+Ie, it seems that it does not count DTS (ie, it gets the DTS from the
+date, not the current one).
+

+When running the above I get FormatException, I need to run:
+
+DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse ("Sat, 29 Oct 1994 12:00:00 GMT",
+CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+
+Also, 
+
+DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse ("Sat, 29 Oct 1994 12:00:00 -0400",
+CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+
+Doesn't seem to work, but if I understand correctly it should. Should
+I report that as it's own bug?
