hwclock problems

[Alex Romosan <romosan@adonis.lbl.gov>]

i've noticed a really strange problem with the clock on my system
after updating this morning to util-linux 2.9t-2 (and maybe libc6
2.1.2-0pre2). what happens is that the local timezone information and
the utc time are swapped. for example:

>date
Thu Jul 29 02:15:36 PDT 1999
>hwclock
Thu Jul 29 02:15:38 1999  -0.116663 seconds
> hwclock -u
Wed Jul 28 19:15:39 1999  -0.689534 seconds

but date --utc works correctly. has anybody else seen this?
