------- Additional Comments from Rob Buis <rwlbuis at xs4all.nl>
To me it seems related to BST handling in 1970(which is default for t3):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time

Now this is not a problem in itself, but the tm structure seems to indicate
summer time, even
at 1-1-1970! I guess that is correct given the wikipedia page, but it is not
helping our calculation.
One way I found to fix it is to just use the current time, assuming that from
now on we stick to winter
and summertime as we know it since years. I am welcome to input on how to test
and suggestions
for better, or likely more efficient fixes. One way could be to single out the
BST case?
Cheers,

Rob.
