(I don't think that ever happened, though.)

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: coreutils

  On Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, calculations by the program "date" are wrong:

  $ date --version
  date (GNU coreutils) 5.93
  (...)

  $ date -d '11:40'
  Tue Jun 27 11:40:00 CEST 2006
  $ date -d '11:40 + 8 minutes'
  Tue Jun 27 13:33:00 CEST 2006
  $ date -d '11:40 + 8 hours'
  Tue Jun 27 14:32:00 CEST 2006

  These calculations were correct in my previous Ubuntu installation.
