>Description:
When the timezone automagically changes from EEST to EET the periodical
daily scripts get run twice. This results in receiving 2 copies of all
email reports, and all other utility scripts getting run twice.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure a machine to be in EEST with the date set to the last saturday
in October and have Finnish summertime rules. At Sunday 04:00 the clock
will change to 03:00 and all daily scripts will be rerun. (This since
they are run at 03:01 from /etc/crontab)
