I just fixed a time conversion problem for EIT events, but it has
only existed in svn head for a couple days, so it was probably the
recent timezone change in the US and Quebec that threw things off
for you.

Cool, thanks Daniel. I've updated and I'm recompiling right now. You know
how people are saying that the hwclock should be set to UTC. I tried to do
that (in the bios) but eventually it resets itself. I guess I'm not real
clear on how to setup hwclock to use UTC time. Is it ultimately necessary?
Here is some output:
# hwclock --show;date
Fri 14 Apr 2006 12:08:08 PM MDT -0.318407 seconds
Fri Apr 14 12:08:15 MDT 2006
# cat /etc/adjtime
1.077299 1144901964 0.000000
1144901964
UTC
Should the hwclock say UTC instead of MDT? When I set the time in the bios
to UTC time, the hwclock still said MDT. I'm running debian and it executes
a script that sets up the hwclock in /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh. I read the man
page for hwclock and found the --utc switch but I can't figure out how to
set it up for UTC all the time. I was able to get it to write the
/etc/adjtime file to UTC (output above) instead of LOCALTIME but when I
reboot it resets back to LOCALTIME.
Thanks again,

You're not dual booting are you?
