Sorry about that, I thought that system was readable by the public
without registration.

Here's the patch:

Thanks, but unfortunately it is not correct. It is more or less the
same as proposed on the SWI-Prolog bugzilla
(See http://gollem.science.uva.nl/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206) and
has the same flaws: tm_gmtoff is at the time of conversion, and so
includes DST offset. Now we can correct that using tm.tm_isdst.

Somehow, I still hope someone tells me why FreeBSD conflicts with
the standard and how to get the standard behaviour back. Now I have
to rely on the _non-standard_ field tm_gmtoff.

Cheers --- Jan

P.s. Maybe better to use the above Bugzilla for this discussion.
Its not really about Prolog ...
