Is there someone that can explain why I get incorrect results on centos

My initial immediate guess would be daylight savings related; if in
your timezone the clock goes back on the 26th then 2008-10-26 (which
means 00:00) + 24 hours would only be 2008-10-26 23:00.
That was my problem. Became confused when i got different behavior on
centos 4 and centos 5. Problem solved! Thank you!
To avoid that kind of trouble i moved to perl for the date functionality
in my script. That solution is also more portable across my different
*nix platforms.
