Weird behaviour of NSDateComponents/NSDate

hello,

i'm getting odd results when nslog nsdate created nsdatecomponents:

code:

  nsdate *test;  nsdatecomponents *comps = [[nsdatecomponents alloc] init];  [comps setday:26];  [comps setmonth:3];  [comps setyear:2012];  test = [[nscalendar currentcalendar] datefromcomponents:comps];  nslog(@"day: %i, month: %i, year: %i, date: %@", [test day], [test month], [test year], test);  // outputs: day: 26, month: 3, year: 2012, date: 2012-03-25 23:00:00 +0000  

when nslog nsdate code produces, outputs 2012-03-25, not 2012-03-26. however, if set components date prior 2012-03-26, such 2012-03-25, works - outputting 2012-03-25 00:00:00. date after , including 26th march 2012 logs date previous day hour portion set 23:00:00. can't life of me understand why?

appreciated!

cheers
