In my limited experience, the HP-UX database method is the only one to
allow correct viewing of file timestamps etc. from other years, summer
or winter.  I am not even sure that HP have implemented it in that way
though.  Most 'nix systems just set a global current offset for
localtime vs. UTC.  This gets lumped onto ANY time regardless of
whether it was summer or winter.

Please, please, can we get this FIXED for ALL systems.  IMHO, any
routine that cannot perform the same translation on a time from one
day to the next, is broken.
