Wait until Sunday! It will fix itself! ;^) The problem is that the
DST ended in the CYGWIN package too early. DST is supposed to end the
last Sunday in October not the first Sunday in October and this Sunday
is the last Sunday in October.

We currently think that this timezone problem is a MS bug. Cygwin
doesn't actually compute timezones. It gets the timezone adjust
amount from a Win32 API function and uses that. Unfortunately, it
appears that that function isn't returning the correct value or some
such thing. :-(

I have one i686 running win95, mounting via samba from another i686
running pc-linux-gnu. The win95 box has the clock set to local time.
I'm having problems with make, because files written from the win95
box to the linux box seem to be 1 hour off. Well, actually the files
written on the linux machine have the correct time, but make on the
win95 machine thinks the time is 1 hour earlier.
So, how do I fix this?
