OK, there's a bug in your program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(void) {
char *iso_date = "2009-12-11T2:50:00";
struct tm tm; /* <- NOT INITIALIZED! */
time_t time;
strptime(iso_date, "%FT%T", &tm);
time = mktime(&tm);
printf("%ld\t%d\n", time, tm.tm_isdst);
return 0;
}
If I memset(&tm, 0, sizeof(struct tm));, the bug goes away.
Here's the deal: The same bug exists glib. No wonder! The maintainer
of alarm-clock helped me figure that out, and will reassign the bug to
glib (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=558099 )
Thanks, all, for helping me. Sorry for wasting your time.
