Eh?

Why would that be two hours?

And I get exactly the same result; I'm in the UK, and at this time of the
year that means GMT.  It also makes no difference when I toggled daylight
savings time in the D&T control panel (admittedly I haven't quit and
relaunched Rev). Nelson Zink reported this from somewhere on GMT +9.  And I
also tried converting "6/6/02", just in case there was something really
'clever' going on - still 2am.  So I'm not clear how this is daylight
savings time related?

And if it is - isn't that a bug?

Er... how?  Is there any way from with Revolution to find out whether
daylight savings time is in effect?
