I downloaded the fix and it seems to be fixed now although it took a
bit for the system clock to sync up as DST.

Interesting, if I now unset the TZ ENV vrbl, it still works. I guess
the fix E:/Tmp/WindowsXP-KB932590-x86-ENU.exe may have handled that.
I found this file:
D:/WINDOWS/WinSxS/Manifests/x86_Microsoft.Windows.CPlusPlusRuntime_6595b64144ccf1df_7.0.2600.3085_x-ww_e059201c.Manifest
Which contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.CPlusPlusRuntime"
version="7.0.2600.3085" processorArchitecture="x86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"/>
<file name="msvcrt.dll" hash="d535ee6a5f3709a652b551b32a95c1399f27e8e1"
hashalg="SHA1"/>
<file name="msvcirt.dll" hash="f16b3b4d3ae5c9212f538752164bb1f0998e2062"
hashalg="SHA1"/>
</assembly>
And a log file for the KB which contained:
20.235: Copied file: D:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcrt.dll
which looks like a new CRT was downloaded:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 343040 Feb 19 03:32 msvcrt.dll
So I guess all is well for now.
Thanks to you both for the info.
