(Everything is fine with NT utilities, they list the correct time). This seems to point to a problem with the DST settings. Indeed, using 'date -R' I get a +0100 timezone info, while I am in GMT. I saw this problem last year on an old AIX machine as well. The reason is that British Summer Time now 'sets in' at a different convention than it used to. We had to manually set TZ=GMT0BST,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00 Unfortunately, this does not help on cygwin. Where does cygwin get its Timezone and DST info from ?
