Comment (by axeld):
Sorry, I had thought you'd know at once what I was babbling about :-)
When I set Germany as a timezone, the "Time settings" file contains the
effective offset in seconds of when I set it. When I set "Germany" during
DST, the offset is 7200, when I set it in the winter it's 3600. This
offset doesn't change anymore then, which means it's obviously wrong half
of the year.
Anyway, with the 7200 as offset, the time was always an hour off, even
when I set the hardware clock to local time. IIRC the time was also one
hour off during DST. I don't know where the time is computed, but for this
bug, AFAIK it only matters to write the correct offset into the archived
message. I hope this actually helps, as I am a bit tired right now :-)
