Comment (by smerriman):

 Here's an updated patch which should fix the problem properly (and also
 updates a few other similar places in the same file). It converts the ISO
 date to the date variable directly; then uses `get_gmt_from_date` to
 calculate the GMT date, rather than the opposite way around. That avoids
 complications with timezones.
