I think it was Windows that changed time.

It wasn't windoze, bash (b18 AND b19) report
a date that is an hour earlier than the windoze time.

did you consider  your time zone info ?
at my box windows says
	17:41
bash(cyg-win32)
	907861277
        Thu Oct 8 16:41:18 1998
my linux bash:
	907861208
	Thursday 08 of October 17:40:08 CEST 1998 KW 40

LINUX knows my time zone info - CEST
cyg-win bash doesn't.

i gave it:
	date +%s;date
as you can see, the seconds are the same.
no idea where the time zone info must be stored,
somewhere at /etc/..... ?

I looked into this briefly.  Although the code is complex enough
that I probably have missed a bug or two in Cygwin, it looks like
the relevant piece of code is localtime() in winsup/times.cc.
We're calling GetTimeZoneInformation and then using DaylightDate
and StandardDate as reported by MS to do the calculations.
NT knows the correct time, so it probably is our fault somewhere.

Fortunately, this bug will fix itself in a couple of weeks.  :-)

A patch would be welcomed.  I'm in the midst of tracking down more
serious problems...

No!!  It's a bug in the DST calculation from the routines supplied by
the CDK.
