Boy, you must have a really *really* fast processor. I think your machine is causing grep to travel time. Please file a bug report. Seriously though, that is weird. I wonder if you are clean on Etch or if you upgraded from Sarge, because that upgrade adjusted timezone settings. Not that you are off by an hour, just 13 minutes. How odd. Or maybe you have an old grep running? -- Please do not use HTML mail for fully-textual messages.
