I've just had a look at the source of 'msfclock'
(http://www.rat.org.uk/linux/msfclock)
and that has a little note that if tm_isdst == 1 then the dang thing
crashes.
Like you do now, it has to knock off 3600 seconds :-(
A book that came with Borland C++ 3.1 (remember running NOS under DOS ?)
shows tm_isdst being loaded with -1
Have you investigated a possible function 'gmtime' ??
