+Having done some more investigation this problem is bigger than just the timezone/
+utcoffset boundary; localtime/gmtime differences from the Win32 API provide a 4 hr block 
+where unexpected roundtrip errors occur.  eno has stated that this works on Win32; and 
+looking at icall.c (where ves_icall_System_CurrentTimeZone_GetTimeZoneData gets called) 
+this makes sense as we fall to the Win32APIs on Windows.

+PS. Note; you must be in a timezone that supports ST/DT at this rollover; I suggest EST/
+EDT.
