Does anyone know why /usr/local/lib/emacs/etc/loadst returns the
time-of-day one hour _behind_ when executed on my Sun workstation
(running SunOS 4.0) but returns the correct time-of-day when executed
on others (also running SunOS 4.0)? loadst is used by Emacs to get
time of day and system load info to be displayed on Emacs' mode line
when you use the Emacs-Lisp function
(display-time)
(I think Emacs runs loadst as a child, which presumeably signals Emacs
each minute so Emacs can update the mode line).
I can't seem to find anything wrong with the timezone info in
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/northamerica
(which is shared [via NFS] by the various Suns mentioned above).
