Dates and rounding problem

[SimPLsol at aol.com]

David,
Revolution does some "unusual" things with dates. Here are a few of the 
"gotchas" I've encountered:
1. Days start at 2 am?!?
2. Days when the local time switches from or to daylight time start at 1 or 3 
am?
3. Most days have 86400 seconds - except for the switch from or to daylight 
time which have 23 or 25 hours worth of seconds?

You didn't ask but, no you are not losing your mind.
