Apparant insect in date processing ...

	We are in Standard time at the point of the processing and the record
is on daylight. The end time seems to figure that out, but the start time 
doesnt' (i.e. the end time was 06:30 as it should have been). I also haven't
tried this with 2.0.6 input but I'd guess it will do the same thing.
