This Microsoft bug may be causing this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932590

"Microsoft Windows-based applications that use the TZ environment
variable may not work as expected because of changes to daylight
saving time (DST). "

  The problem is caused by rcs using the msvcrt.dll library, which was
not updated by the regular dst update.  There is a fix on that
website.  It worked for me.
