Me too ;-)
We are working on a report of failure in US/central WRT Daylight Savings
Time, right?
There is one variable we haven't nailed down yet. The hardware clock can
be set either to local time or GMT (UTC). As I remember, the failure only
happens when the clock is set to one of these two. (Memory says Local Time
is the broken one)
Your output, if I can count right (not guaranteed), indicates a 5 hour
difference from GMT, which, I think, is correct. Which way is your
hardware clock set?
Thanks,
Dwarf
