did you consider  your time zone info ?
at my box windows says
	17:41
bash(cyg-win32)
	907861277
        Thu Oct 8 16:41:18 1998
my linux bash:
	907861208
	Thursday 08 of October 17:40:08 CEST 1998 KW 40

LINUX knows my time zone info - CEST
cyg-win bash doesn't.

i gave it:
	date +%s;date
as you can see, the seconds are the same.
no idea where the time zone info must be stored,
somewhere at /etc/..... ?
