Hi hackers,
I have problem subtracting days from current date using test program.
We have daylight saving occured on 2AM of March 26, 2005.
As you can see below, there is missing March 26th line from program output.
And all lines after 27th March are wrong.
Instead of 25th March it should be 26th March, 24th March should be 25th March and so on.
Can somebody tell me why is this happening? How can I correct this problem?
thanks in advance,
Ganbold
