Using ntpd does not guarantee the switchover between PST/PDT -- only
the conversion table in /etc/zoneinfo (and the Preferences, or your
personal timezone environment) will translate from GMT to your
timezone of choice. 
As was explained by Mike Carlton above, this was another presidential
campaign trick played on us. It seems that the NS3.0 update changed
the preferences to US/Pacific-New without ever asking.
