no, the time is set correctly. i think the problem might be with
timegm() (now that i think about it, this might have started happening
when debian switched to a new version of libc) but i am still trying
to understand the logic. anyway, there is a bug in there for sure,
fgfs shouldn't go and fetch the metar data for the whole world
regardless of the time.
