OK, I'm inclined toward the daylight saving time idea. The D3 Ref
says this about the "set-time" command:
----
The 'u' option ... Updates the hardware real-time clock, as well as
the system (software clock).
NOTE— On D3 UNIX systems, this does not change the UNIX time. It only
creates a difference. The new time is preserved (even if the system is
rebooted) until another set-time command is issued. If the UNIX date
is changed, the D3 date is changed, too. The D3 implementation does
not use the daylight savings UNIX algorithm. Therefore, the time has
to be adjusted manually when daylight savings goes into effect.
----
I don't quite understand that "it creates a difference" part and it
might be key to this problem.
I have no idea how this is happening but I'm guessing the Linux clock
is changing after midnight or something, D3 gets the new time, then
NTP kicks in for Linux and gets the real DST, but somehow D3 isn't
informed. This might happen if Linux is rebooting automatically
after-hours for some reason.
I really don't like that theory because it doesn't make sense that
this is only happening on one system and not everywhere. So I'm
hoping someone else can propose another theory that's better. :)
