cal-dst (optionally, but by default) no longer assumes that the DST
transition occurs at the same date in every year. This was prompted by
the recent US DST changes.
I think you'll find that the original code would break in 2038 on
existing 32-bit systems, because even (current-time) will (?) fail
there.
Anyway, I have a trivial workaround for this issue.
