Bug description: Incorrect output from strtotime, when timestr is used with a relative term this

Description:
------------
Sample script to demonstrate the issue:

<?php
print "14:00:0 UTC this Friday [" . strtotime("14:00:0 UTC this Friday")
.. "]\n";
print "this Friday UTC [" . strtotime("this Friday UTC") . "]\n";
print "now UTC from strtotime [" . strtotime("now UTC") . "]\n";
?>

When I used this same script with :
"PHP 5.0.5 (cli) (built: Oct 29 2006 22:42:15)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.0.5, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies"

and my System's date being:
# date
Fri Jan 5 14:21:38 EST 2007

I got the correct desired output, which is as follows:

14:00:0 UTC this Friday [1168005600]
this Friday UTC [1167955200]
now UTC from strtotime [1168006899]

After upgrading to PHP 5.2
"PHP 5.2.0 (cli) (built: Jan 2 2007 12:44:27)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies"

and system's date now being

# date
Fri Jan 5 14:23:00 EST 2007

The same script as above generated the following incorrect output:

14:00:0 UTC this Friday [1167955200]
this Friday UTC [1167955200]
now UTC from strtotime [1168006981]

By the look of it, it seems as if it ignores the time string completely.

Please let me know, if I need to provide any further information.

New Comment:

The following line in the sample script is used purely for
demonstration purpose to give the idea to the developer of the test
system's current time in UTC.

print "now UTC from strtotime [" . strtotime("now UTC") . "]\n";

The bug occurs when strtotime is invoked with a pattern containing
timestr and a relative term ("this Friday") in my example.
