Are you by any chance in Austin, Texas?

I could guess that first you tried this code in Windows NT, and later
rebooted to Windows 98.  Running your code on Windows 98 happened after
6pm, your local time.

By that time, I think it is already tomorrow in Greenwich, England
(which is what gmtime provides).  Try localtime instead (assuming your
timezone is set correctly both in NT and 98).
