Comment (by jessicah):
I am experiencing similar issues around `mktime()`, which causes an off-
by-one error with the `tm.tm_sec` field, depending on the
configured/specified timezone.
For example, in New Zealand, the test fails; indeed, setting the timezone
in the Time preflet to any value of GMT+N:00 will cause the test to fail.
Setting the timezone to GMT or GMT-N:00 will pass.
Using the TZ environment variable, `TZ=GMT-12:00 ./time-failure` fails
here, whilst `TZ=GMT+12:00 ./time-failure` succeeds.
