I had the same effect when clocks were turned +1 hour to daylight saving
time on March 26th here in Finland. I had two dates of which one was in
normal time and another that was in daylight saving time and I kept
wondering why the difference between them is was 5 days and 23 hours or
something like that, until the whole daylight saving thing finally dawned to
me. I fixed it by using GMT times which are not affected by DST.
