[John Swartzentruber]

I just realized that I sent this to the other list and not this one. It
should be of interest here and appears to explain some of the time
problems.

Could it be related to this:

Microsoft's "April Fools Day Bug"
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/headlines/2001.asp).  It seems that
a common version of Microsoft's C compiler calculates the start of
Daylight Savings Time wrong on years when April 1st falls on a Sunday,
so that any programs compiled using that compiler think that DST
doesn't start until April 8th.
