Strange things with date command

I was using the date command in many files to get some information. Today, I've
seen that my command files were not working any more and I've discovered that
date command has now a new field in the 6th position. It's DST.

Thu May 23 13:29:38 MET DST 1996

In fact, it seems to me that it was working before the change, but it's not
written in the man pages that the format should change with Daylight Saving
Time.

I'm running 3.2c. IS it a bug or a feature ? Does it come from the patch for
leap year ?

Thanks,

Daniel
