I don't believe so, since the version of MySQL you are using relies on
the system's time. I am using 4.1 and I am setup to use system's time
and my timezone tables in the mysql schema are empty. I would take a
look at those on your installation. You can also run the 2nd command
below to see if the system returns proper time, both unix timestamp
should be equal...
mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'time_zone';
+---------------+--------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+--------+
| time_zone | SYSTEM |
+---------------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11
01:00:00'),UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11 02:00:00');
+---------------------------------------+-------------------------------
--------+
| UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11 01:00:00') | UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11
02:00:00') |
+---------------------------------------+-------------------------------
--------+
| 1173592800 |
1173596400 |
+---------------------------------------+-------------------------------
--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11
02:00:00'),UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11 03:00:00');
+---------------------------------------+-------------------------------
--------+
| UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11 02:00:00') | UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11
03:00:00') |
+---------------------------------------+-------------------------------

1173596400 |
