Dear members... are these results normal ?

For the first one, no problem. I expected this:

 > strptime("05/01/18 01:00:00 AM", format = ("%m/%d/%y %I:%M:%S %p"), 
tz="Asia/Jayapura")
[1] "2018-05-01 01:00:00 WIT"

For this one, it is ok also:

 > strptime("05/01/18 01:00:00 AM", format = ("%m/%d/%y %I:%M:%S %p"), 
tz="Asia/Jayapura")-1
[1] "2018-05-01 00:59:59 WIT"

But how to explain this ???

 > strptime("05/01/18 00:59:59 AM", format = ("%m/%d/%y %I:%M:%S %p"), 
tz="Asia/Jayapura")
[1] NA

Thanks for your advices
Marc
