Ok, I've looked at it.  It clearly looks like a DST related problem.  I can't 
tell if it's a machine configuration problem or a library problem...I just 
know it's something boost date-time can't really fix.  Essentially the problem 
is that  std::local_time and std::gmtime are returning a time that's 1 hour 
ahead GetSystemTimeAsFileTime.  So unless the owner of the machine can 
diagnose why this has started I guess we should mark this one as expected.
