That's really, really odd. I'm confused.

If you run "date" does it show the time zone as EST or EDT? If you
have python installed, you might also try:

python -c 'import time; print time.localtime().tm_isdst'
(it should be 1)

Is the year correct? I mean, could it be thinking it's some different
year, where the time zone rules are different?

Now *I'm* curious. :-) I've honestly never seen a system do that
before. If you figure it out, I hope you'll let either me, or the
list, know what it was!
