Actually, that's another problem, which may well be classified as a bug.
GMT is calculated based on Eastern Standard Time, and the fault is that
the library assumes that local time *is* EST. (or EDT, as the case may be).

I will probably fix this library; the problem is how to fix it; it's
possible to just have time() and ctime() return the system clock time
and date regardless, but if people have come to depend on the current
functionality, it might be a problem.

Any suggestions?
