java.sql.Timestamp and the Epoch

Hello all

according to the JavaDoc for Timestamp, the long parameter of the constructor represents "milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT". However, running

class Main

{

publicstaticvoid main (String [] args)

{

System.out.println (new java.sql.Timestamp (0l));

}

}

produces 1970-01-01 01:00:00.0

, which is 3.6 million ms since the time stated in the doc.

My box is set to GMT. Does anyone know of an explanation for this?

Cheers
