zmailer doesn't use DST correctly?



I just telnetttet to my port 25:

220 lupinella.troll.no Server ESMTP+AUTH 2.99.27 #1 ready at Sat, 8 Jun 1996 19:59:49 +0100

Note that zmailer gets the correct time, but wrong time zone (Norway
is now +0200).

$ date -u
Sat Jun  8 18:01:52 UTC 1996
$ date
Sat Jun  8 20:01:54 MET DST 1996

Using telnet, I sent myself a short test message:

DATA
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Subject: test

test
.

Here it is:

Return-Path: agulbra@troll.no 
Received: from lupinella.troll.no ([195.0.254.19]) by lupinella.troll.no with SMTP id <13970-31555>; Sat, 8 Jun 1996 20:00:31 +0100

test

The message-id shows that zmailer understands that this is MET DST,
but still it thinks the time zone is +0100.  Strange.

I venture to guess that the problem is related to my downgrading from
linux 1.3.bleedingedge to 1.2.13, whose mmap() is not all that good.
(Btw, I had to downgrade because I have hardware for which there
aren't any 1.3 drivers.)
