It is not *my* shop or our shop. It is a site to which we outsource certain
processing. I do not know if the issue is that the hardware clock is set to
local time.

conversion?
OP did not state whether GMT is set to UTC or local. I would have thought by
now shops would have converted to UTC. I understand that the hit is much bigger
for shops located in the Eastern Hemisphere because the change requires
shutting down--once--for a prodigious period, but in the Western Hemisphere
there should be little or no extended down time.
If OP's shop is already running UTC, then he's dealing with fear and
uncertainty in the application community. My standard (flippant) response is
that the local apothecary has formulations to soothe the troubled psyche.

That is the fallout of using Local not UT/GMT timestamps.
