Summary:                    [branch] bug in time-zone with daylight saving time
Description: 
apparently, the epoch returned by STRPTIME isnt correct.
Here's a discussion with corydon on IRC.

Even if we specify the tz, the epoch returned isnt correct.

this is due to DST (daylight saving time) in north america.

Having the correct tzinfo/tzdata package is part of the
solution.  The second part is to have /etc/localtime
point to the correct zone definition.

So installs seem to like to copy the zone file to
/etc/localtime.  I prefer to symlink /etc/localtime
to the correct zone file
