If there is a discrepancy between your current offset from UTC and your timezone rule, then something that is explicitly testing that the two are in synch may run into problems. Anything that uses UTC or offsets from it (in short, anything using the standard C library functions) would have the same problem during the window between the time change and the system clock being reset. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
