Problem in DST fall back procedure

[Koski Avi]

Hi,
 
We are using the files from: ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/
 
There is a problem in the fall back procedure, which we encountered in
all our tested platforms (Tru64 4.0D/4.0F, Linux AS3 Update 8, Solaris
9).
 
We cahnged time to 01:55 , 4 Nov 2007. 
The time advances normally from 02:00hrs on and "does not fall back to
01:00hrs as desired".
