Which timezone are you using? It looks like you're dealing with a clock discontinuity, possibly around 2 AM on January 1st, 1900. That means a certain amount of time was skipped by the local clock and officially doesn't exist. It could also be a change in DST. The consistent difference in your last 3 lines looks strange though - perhaps Java's Calendar and Joda Time use a different version of the timezone database and the change is missing in one of them.

You can check your timezone for changes at the linked-to site.
