Worksforme with PC Linux 2001030921.

Comment 2

[Athanasius]

  I'm using 2001031021 and it's still broken (this is on Linux a Debian 2.2
system).  Go to http://www.miggy.org/js.html now, it'll show both the corrected
and uncorrected date, I get 11 and 12 when it's the 11th.

Comment 3

[Asko Tontti]

My PC Linux 2001031105 says with js.html:

  Corrected date: 10
  UNCorrected date: 11

I have Redhat 7.0 and my timezone is EET (Europe/Helsinki)
(local time is Mar 11 18:16).

Comment 4

[Håkan Waara]

I see the exact number as Asko, corrected: 10, uncorrected: 11.

Comment 5

[Athanasius]

   Ok, I'm on Europe/London as my timezone, currently that's equal to GMT.  I
wonder if this IS related to the other report that was to do with that then. 
Either way something needs fixing.

I also see this in Mozilla 2001031008 in WinNT.
I'm also in the GMT time zone (I'm in Dublin, Ireland).

Comment 7

[Athanasius]

   Ok, I'm now guessing this IS the same bug as in #65671.  I wasn't sure to
start with, hence posting this new one.  Empirical evidence suggests
Europe/London is the troublesome timezone however.  Hmmmmm, back on Netscape
4.76 where I first saw this "TZ=GMT netscape" does fix things.  "TZ=GB-Eire
netscape" is still broken though, as is "TS=GB netscape".  Any 'UK' zone I try
under Europe/ also has the problem, so there's no workaround it seems.  No, I
don't want to change my timezone manually when DST happens on 25th March, damn it!
   Confirmed same behaviour on build 2001031021.  I'll check if there's a later
one and report only if it IS fixed in such.

I can see the problem with setting TZ=Europe/London and exporting it.
