I would guess that just setting the timezone to one without a daylight
savings time switch or just turning off daylight savings time would
avoid the issue.  I believe GMT does not have a daylight savings time. 
If you're in a timezone that does have a time change and you're using
local time on Windows you may not have a choice.
