You might like to look at my bug
http://developer.javasoft.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4124203.html
and the one it was closed as a duplicate of. In the U.K, the clocks were fine until
JDK 114 shipped, and they
had "fixed" the fact that the GMT time zone went on to daylight savings time. My
clocks have been out an
hour ever since, on both Linux and WinNT.
Of course, "fixed in JDK 1.2" doesn't help very much.
