British Summer Time

[Damon Pritchard - Sun UK <damon.pritchard@UK>]

Since the UK switched to Daylight savings (known as British Summer Time - BST) a 
couple of weeks ago, I now get the following message when starting Pilot 
Manager.

	Congratulations! Your OS has a bug in the time of 
	day code. This bug causes dates to slowly travel 
	backwards in time and interferes with 
	PilotManager's performance. This bug is caused by 
	having a bad timezone environment variable setting.
	Your timezone is set to

		GB-Eire
	
	You might try setting it to a more specific 
	timezone, for example US/Pacific maps to:

		PST8PDT

	You'll need to set the correct value for your time 
	zone, of course.

	PilotManager will not function until this is fixed. 
	(This is NOT a bug in PilotManager!)
	
My current timezone setting (GB-Eire) cannot really be more specific. It is the 
correct setting for this country and automatically caters for daylight savings 
at the correct times.
I can get Pilot Manager to work by using GMT-1, but this is not satisfactory as 
I will have to remember to change it back to GMT in October. This sounds as 
though Pilot Manager cannot cope with certain timezone settings. 

Has anyone else out there had similar problems?

Regards,

Damon
