I think the problem was a corrupt /etc/localtime. When I set up the system I made /etc/localtime a symlink, but SOMETHING seemed to have changed that and replaced it with a copy of (what I presume to have been) the file the symlink should have been pointing to. Unfortunately it must have been a corrupt copy. Deleting this file and reinserting the symlink seems to have made the problem go away. I think the guilty SOMETHING was most likely the kde date and time setting utility. Thanks once again to everybody for their help.
