Subject:	Bug in time

There appears to be a bug in version 1.08 time.  It gives a result
which is one hour slow.  When the system date is set to winter
(I forget which date I used), the problem went away.

Running the following program under djgpp and turbo C gave the
following results:

#include <time.h>

void main()
{
long rawtime;

rawtime = time((long *) 0);
printf (asctime(localtime(&rawtime)));
}

DJGPP:

C:\TEMP>go32 test

TURBO C:

C:\TEMP>test

The following program was run (less the last two fields for turbo C).
It would appear that turbo C is subtracting an hour to compensate for
summer time, and djgpp is not adding it back again.  I leave any
corrections to you.

#include <time.h>

void main()
{
long rawtime;
struct tm *lt;

rawtime = time((long *) 0);
lt = localtime(&rawtime);

printf ("rawtime: %d\n", rawtime);
printf ("tm_sec: %d\n",lt->tm_sec);
printf ("tm_min: %d\n",lt->tm_min);
printf ("tm_hour: %d\n",lt->tm_hour);
printf ("tm_mday: %d\n",lt->tm_mday);
printf ("tm_mon: %d\n",lt->tm_mon);
printf ("tm_wday: %d\n",lt->tm_wday);
printf ("tm_yday: %d\n",lt->tm_yday);
printf ("tm_isdst: %d\n",lt->tm_isdst);
printf ("tm_gmtoff: %d\n",lt->tm_gmtoff);
printf ("tm_zone: %s\n",lt->tm_zone);

}
