It's during the switch from DST to normal time. Because of DST, times in 
local timezones are not guaranteed to be unique.

Then you should probably use dates in UTC (or another timezone without
DST, for example one expressed by an offset, for example '+0700' or
something like that). Or you can accept that your records will be
confused during 1 hour per year.
