Running the phobos unittests, a failure in std.datetime line 1501 was reported. Local timezone is Asia/Amman. Changing the timezone makes the test pass. Running on Fedora 18.

I very much doubt that there's any real bug here (tests like this are notoriously hard to write in a way that works across all time zones), but I'll try and find time to look into it.

It looks like the problem is the fact that Asia/Amman had a DST switch on July 1st, 1999. I didn't think that anyone had DST switches in July. They're always in Spring or Fall. Yuck. Okay. It's definitely not a bug in std.datetime itself. It'll work fine. It's a bug in the tests. I'll have to figure out how to fix them that works across more (preferably all) time zones.

I thought so too, but I wanted to make sure that it wasn't some edge case or something.

(btw, we need to find a way to enable running the rest of the unit-tests even if one fails. But that's an issue for another ticket)

Thanks for you efforts.
