Summary: strptime() always returns 0 in dst field

Initial Comment:
time.strptime() has always returned 0 in the Daylight
Savings Time flag of the returned tuple.

This leads to nasty bugs like the "off by an hour" bug
revealed below:

>>> strftime("%Y %b %d %H %M %S %Z",
                localtime(int(mktime(strptime("Oct 18
2002 00:00:00", "%b %d %Y %H:%M:%S")))))
'2002 Oct 18 01 00 00 PDT'

I've seen it in 1.5.2, 2.1.3, 2.2 and 2.2.1.
