yup.

Daylight Savings time laws changed affective spring 2007 in the U.S. and 
Australia. I have no clue about the Czech Republic or others. There were 
patches to be applied according to your operating system. I applied 
Solaris 9 patches. Mac OS X and Windows systems got theirs by automatic 
updates. One of our labs had an older Sun OS 5.6 system for which there 
were no patches. After messing with it for a while, they finally punted 
and said it didn't really matter.

So, if you have a server that was not patched this year, and you are in 
a jurisdiction where it matters, it's worth checking into. It will bite 
you twice a year until you patch it.

I'll be checking all my crontabs to make sure I don't have anything 
between 2 and 3am that might be affected.
