After looking into this, I conclude that the test is faulty, but that it also highlights a bug/limitation on Windows: * The test assumes that the current timezone had daylight saving time starting at what would have been 2:00am on April 4, 1990. The test will fail on your machine if your timezone is set to a place with no or different DST rules (i.e., different than the standard US timezones). * Windows gets it wrong. It thinks that US Mountain Time started daylight saving sometime in March ---- which is the right idea for the current DST calendar, but wrong for 1990. My guess is that timezone configuration in Windows cannot support different DST start-date rules for different years. I'll adjust the test, though I don't yet have a better idea than just removing it. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
