DateFormat.parse issues



I can't get dates to parse with any accuracy. I have a date like this, for example:

Fri May 25 07:58:46 GMT 2007

I am using a SimpleDateFormat with a format string of:

EEE MMM dd HH:MM:SS z yyyy

When I parse the date and print it back out, it thinks it was:

Tue Oct 25 02:00:00 CDT 2011

Which is not even remotely the same except for the "25".

Any tips on using the date parser? I guess I could just extract all the fields into integers and make a date out of that, but it seems like there is built-in functionality for this and I want it to work!

Thanks,
Jeremy
