Thank you, and I agree that it's probably the pragmatic choice. Much as I would
have liked to track down and explain the exact reason for the observed
phenomenon, I gave up and pushed your suggested patch.
If I would hazard a guess, it's related to the fact that Ireland uses daylight
saving in winter (with opposite adjustment) rather than in summer; this may
trigger a daylight-saving adjustment for the dates in question (late December).
The fact that IST is used for both Irish and Indian time may be significant or
a mere coincidence; it certainly didn't help matters.
Date and time calculations can be both infuriatingly and delightfully messy,
but in this case the code didn't really help either, with way too many implicit
input parameters -- global variables, caches, system settings, time-zone files,
and so on. Not something to make a test writer happy!
Thanks again for the report, and for persevering!
