Utime: still with bug?

Ruby
1

Hello,

with ruby 1.8.4 on Windows XP, there seems still to be an error of 1
hour when assigning mtime to a file by using utime.

Condition: Assigning a daylight saving time while actual time is not
daylight saving time.

The same seems to be OK on Windows 98SE.

I tested it as described in:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_frm/thread/fe4a0
342986ebd71

Is there a fix or work-around?

I’m using:
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32] on both systems.

Sorry, this is regression I introduced when fixed another bug of stat(2)
on WinNT.

I’ll commit this on CVS.

I’ll commit this on CVS.

Thank You! (I’m looking forward to get the “right” utime.)

Very interesting; and even the presentation of the solution in
chapter “The Final Solution” and “More problems: utime()”.
