Should be -1 seconds instead. Is this discrepancy due to the 7 min 2 sec difference between PST and Local Mean Time (Solar Time) ? russell@husum:~$ ./mktime-discrepancy sizeof(time_t) = 8 first struct tm object dump: 1 7 12 18 10 -18 6 321 0 -28378 LMT second struct tm object dump: 2 7 12 18 10 -18 6 321 0 -28378 LMT First time tick: -2749176001 Second time tick: -2749176000 Difference: -1 secs.

Note the timezones and that I changed the year to -18 for kicks. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
