OK, I need to elaborate. On Unix/Linux, one usually sets the hardware
clock to UTC, and determines the actual time that is displayed to the
user by setting a time zone. That means that no matter what DST settings
that timezone has, it doesn't have any impact on any running process,
because hardware clock always stays the same, time is just displayed
differently.

On Windows, OTOH, HW clock is always set to the time (and timezone) set
in the OS, which means that DST changes actually change the HW clock and
thus result in time jumps which don't happen on Linux.

HTH...
