gdaltransform.exe incorrectly translates long island utm file to wgs84

Hi,

If I use

gdaltransform.exe -s_srs EPSG:32118 -t_srs EPSG:4326
1140000.000 192000.000
-63.9241443598518 41.4600795990435 0

The output should be
73d26'18.08"W, 40d41'32.29"N in decimal degrees.

This issue can be recast as:

cs2cs +proj=lcc +lat_1=41.03333333333333 +lat_2=40.66666666666666 +lat_0=40.16666666666666 +lon_0=-74 +x_0=300000 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs  +to +proj=latlong +datum=WGS84
1140000.000 192000.000
63d55'26.92"W   41d27'36.287"N 0.000

Could you provide some substantiation for the claim that the result should be the values you gave? 1140000 meters east of the central meridian less the 300000m false easting is about 800000m which would be around 7 degrees east of the central meridian at -74 which is at least closer to -63 value than the -73 you suggest.
