As a by-product of creating the Val.Timestamp (et al) types, I encountered numerous bugs and uncertainties in mktime() and System.TM() with regard to timezone handling/abuse.
AFAICS, all these bugs have now been dealt with and fixed in 8.1. Any objections if I port these fixes from 8.1 to 8.0?
It, incidentally, would allow us to git rid of some slow/undeterministic custom Pike-mktime() code (so the Pike footprint gets smaller, faster and deterministic with the fixes applied).
