Indeed, everything works fine if I stick to GMT. I had forgotten I had changed that option.
With the patch, I now find no problem with the localtime option. The time control works as expected now, no 100% CPU issues. I tried the patch on both the 1.3 source and the svn head, and it worked fine with both.
