Gmt - A bizarre phenomenon in my java program

Questions

I found a bizarre phenomenon in my java program at runtime, just look at my code:

System.out.println(" date " + new Date(1359931355141L).toGMTString() );

the output by this statement was "date 3 Feb 2013 22:42:35 GMT", and

System.out.println(" date " + new Date(1359931355141L).getDate() );

the output by this was "date 4 " , see, why not 3 here ???

I could not figure out what s wrong with my program; I am doubting whether my JVM ran into bugs.
Guys, would you like to have a test on your JVM for this two statements?

Answers

Because you live east of central Europe (in a timezone that is at least GMT+1.5Hr).
