Hmm. Yes, it is +13:00 now!

More likely a Windows' one, since REBOL goes through Windows to get the time, 
I'm assuming. And when daylight saving ended this year in April, this XP's 
clock was two hours out! And according to Microsoft's webpage, clocks are put 
forward in October in the Southern Hemisphere, despite ours moving forward in 
September...

But then, daylight saving's voodoo, anyway. You're saying there's a day a year 
with an hour missing from it? Oh yes, and not only that, but there's an hour 
once a year that repeats itself. "Yeah, right!"
