With the help of Tony Meyer, we rediscovered the explanation: because
of a bug in the Microsoft C run-time library, the UTC time reported by
2.4 may have been off by one hour (it wasn't local time - just off
by one hour). This was due to DST issues. They have been fixed in 2.5,
which now reports the correct UTC value.
