I'm only guessing, but I doubt that the error was caused by using
local time. My suspicion is that the error occurred not when
crossing the International Date Line (which is crooked, as you can
see on a map), but when crossing the 180th meridian, when the
longitude jumped from 179.909 to -179.990.

Yes - that makes far more sense. I had a very difficult time (!)
believe that the problem had anything to do with timezones.

I could believe it if there were requirements to do something say
every quarter-hour on the quarter-hour in local time. What seems hard
to imagine in a military aircraft is the 'local time' part!
