Yeah, it's an interesting one -- apr_time_now() should be GMT though, and not have anything to do with timezones (not saying they aren't playing a part in this issue, though). This problem manifested itself when a program I was running on Windows had a hard time communicating with a program under UNIX. Both used apr_time_now() to determine the current time, and I guess they came up with different answers. -- Jon
