This is a problem with your webhost. They probably updated their
timezone database but did it wrong. The 22 seconds come from the
difference between UT and UTC, and in Jan 1st 2006 we had another leap
second making this 23 seconds. You can see the difference here (right
is the one with leapsecond support):

Description:
------------
Hello!
The function strftime doesn't work correct anymore.
Effect:
Critical, since all the business critical booking system for all
customers is malfunctioning completely.
Since:
The problem started around 2006-01-07/08. (Known working 2006-01-06 for
sure)
Problem description:
See http://www.logibook.com/a/strftime_test.php for an desciptive page
over the error.
strftime usually returns a string from the number of seconds since 1
jan 1970. Now, it lags and returns a string representing 23 seconds to
late. When I look at bookings further on in the future, the function
lags 24 seconds.
Other:
My webb-hotell (www.swedenet.net) uses cpanel. Cpanel seems to not
support a later version of php than 4.4.1. Is the problem solved in a
later version of php and in that case, in what earliest version is it
solved?
Reproduce code:
---------------
See http://www.logibook.com/a/strftime_test.php
Expected result:
----------------
see text when running the file:
http://www.logibook.com/a/strftime_test.php
E.g. The strftime should return 8 jan 2006, 08:00:00
Actual result:
--------------
see text when running the file:
http://www.logibook.com/a/strftime_test.php
E.g. The strftime should return 8 jan 2006, 07:59:37 which is
incorrect.
