It looks very much like there is something very different b/w kaffe
versions wrt Date native methods.
I have an Strftime() class which provides decent formatting for times
etc. It currently needs to be compiled with jdk1.0.2 (kaffe-0.8.4)
and when run with that VM produces correct results:
sjg:771$ JDK=1.0.2 java au.com.quick.util.Strftime %C "%Y%m%d %T"
default: Mon Oct 27 22:16:16 GMT-1100 1997
%C: Mon Oct 27 22:16:16 GMT-1100 1997
%Y%m%d %T: 19971027 22:16:16
sjg:772$ date
Mon Oct 27 22:16:17 EST 1997
If I run it with kaffe-0.9.1 though I get:
sjg:773$ java au.com.quick.util.Strftime %C "%Y%m%d %T"
default: Mon Oct 27 11:17:06 GMT 1997
%C: Mon Oct 27 11:17:06 GMT 1997
%Y%m%d %T: 19971027 11:17:06
sjg:774$ date

If JDK is not set, my java_wrapper uses the greatest installed jdk
(1.1.4 here)
I would guess that the TimeZone() stuff does not work in 0.9.1
[sorry havn't solved the core dumps in 0.9.2 so can't test it].
