A post to the Firebird support list pointed out that current_timestamp values do not correctly reflect the effect of DST time changes while the server is running. In order for current_timestamp to reflect the correct local time values, the server needs to be restarted. Though it never occurred to me to check time condition, I would have to say that the current logic seems wrong. Since current_timestamp is supposed to return the local time, all values should be valid in that context, and it should not require a server restart in order for the values to be correct. I was going to log a case about this, but thought that I should post here first.
Old known issue. The C runtime library caches the current time zone at application startup, so any background changes at the system level remain invisible to applications.
