orig synopsis: "SQL Date get*() methods have internal bugs which cause exceptions"

This code:

public class sqlbug {

  public static void main( String[] args ) {
    java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date( 0102030405 );
    System.out.println( "date is " + date.toString() );
    System.out.println( "hours: " + date.getHours() );
  }
}

Fails to operate with error:

date is 1970-01-01
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
        at java.sql.Date.getHours(Date.java:131)
        at sqlbug.main(sqlbug.java:6)

Similarily for getMinutes(), getSeconds().

I haven't tried compiling the code under Java2.
