Holly's problem with GMT offset = 0 turned out to be due to the use of
the special Indiana time zone. The NT time zone info system call returns
one of three return codes. One says there is a daylight adjustment, one
says there isn't, and the third says, quote, "The operating system cannot
determine the current time zone". I thought it meant what it said, and
made LISTSERV operate in GMT. Instead this return code appears to mean
"The operating system cannot determine whether the current time zone is
daylight or not because no such information was provided in the time zone
definition template". Nothing wrong with the call itself, but it would be
nice if they had better technical writers. Anyway, if you live in IN, AZ
or another state where the time zone doesn't change, you will want to use
the corresponding non-static time zone until 1.8c is released, or let
your server use GMT. The time *is* correct in GMT, it just isn't local
time.
