Looks like your timezone setting is wrong.

Not logical because times displayed by Clock applet are all right.

Local TimeZone : 2005/09/26 @ 16:22
America/Montreal : 2005/09/26 @ 02:52
Europe/London : 2005/09/26 @ 07:53

Never mind, it really weird to have a sunset time difference of more than 9 hrs for 2 cities located 400 km apart (London vs Scotland).

The only unusual thing for Linux system is ... I set the local time instead of UTC time on my laptop because I'm also running W2K in a virtual machine.

Problem found & it happens when the user's timezone is not divisible by 60 (i.e Adelaide, AU GMT+10.5 amd/or St-John, Newfoundland, CA GMT-4.5). In such case MyString.setHMS(hours, minutes, seconds) return an error if hours and/or minutes value(s) is invalid. How is it possible ?

Case 1. Set UTC at 15:45. For Adelaide, we must add 10:30 to UTC time to get local time. Buzz. MyString.setHMS(25, 75, 0) return invalid value.

Case 2. Set UTC at 12:00. For St-John, we must substract 4:30 to UTC time to get local time. Buzz again. MyString.setHMS(8, -30, 0) return invalid value too.

I submitted a patch to Novell to fix this issue. More explanation take a look at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=160808

Please apply the patch submitted to SuSE to fix this issue for all distros.

Sorry for a stupid mistake with MetarParser::isNight() logic for Midnight Sun / Polar Night ... Take this patches instead.
