Daylight Savings time problem


From: nick_brosnahan
Subject: Daylight Savings time problem
Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2001 16:35:06 -0700 (PDT)

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
 not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

In GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-*-nt5.0.2195)
 of Tue Jun 13 2000 on buffy
configured using `configure NT'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Today is 2001/04/02.  I am in the Pacific Time Zone.
I am running Windows 2000 and the system time control panel says it's PDT.
Unfortunately, emacs doesn't think that PDT starts until next sunday 
(2001/04/08).
It appears that the built-in function current-time-zone is returning the wrong 
value.
The output from M-x eval-expression with "(current-time-zone)" displays this:

(-28800 "Pacific Standard Time")

By changing my clock to next sunday, I get this:

(-25200 "Pacific Daylight Time")

As a result, the clock in emacs is wrong, and my compiles complain at me 
constantly.

Thanks,
Nick
