[Veritas-bu] Different output from bpimagelist command

[Eric Punsalan]

I was wondering if anyone has seen problems with running the bpimagelist
command from a perl script.

Here is a sample of the problem.  In the 1st 3 examples, the epoch date
returned is correct, namely 974415633.  In the last 2 examples, when
running the same commands through a perl script, the epoch date
changes to 965735006.
