_tzset helps but isn't the complete solution.  When the clocks changed
again
all the files became modified again.  I think there is something wrong
with
the implementation of the time functions in the C libraries, but it's
difficult
to test (In summer I'm one hour off GMT and in winter the same as GMT. 
Especially
in winter debugging such code is a nightmare...)
