Do you have Perl on those relics?

    $ perl -e 'print localtime(1173682800) . "\n"'
    Mon Mar 12 00:00:00 2007

There's no PDT/PST to check.  Instead, you need to verify that it's
midnight, not 23:00 the previous night.

Where'd I get that number?  I used GNU date. (-:

    $ date +%s --date=3/12/2007
    1173682800
    $ date --date=@1173682800
    Mon Mar 12 00:00:00 PDT 2007
