   Gee, I don't know, I get
    26-JAN-2012 14:45:24
    26-JAN-2012 14:45:24

   But, I'd have expected the second time to be 25-JAN-2012 16:39:something.

   Let's see:

  pipe show time ; wait 26-jan-2012 14:48 ; show time
  26-JAN-2012 14:47:20
  26-JAN-2012 14:48:20

   Looks OK to me, but disagrees with HELP WAIT.
