cron and timezones

[Alisdair McDiarmid <alisdair@wasters.org>]

I've just noticed that cron takes no notice of the current
timezone: all my cron jobs were running an hour late and I didn't
know why until recently.

My timezone is set correctly, using tzconfig, so date gives:

Mon Oct 25 20:35:42 BST 1999

Unfortunately, cron thinks this means 19:35:42 GMT, and so doesn't
work how I'd expect.

I'd rather not have to change my crontab when we swap between BST
and GMT here: is there a way of making cron take notice of the
timezone?

Thanks,
