Hi,
 
We are using the files from: ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/
 
There is a problem in the fall back procedure, which we encountered in all our tested platforms (Tru64 4.0D/4.0F, Linux AS3 Update 8, Solaris 9).
 
We cahnged time to 01:55 , 4 Nov 2007.
The time advances normally from 02:00hrs on and “does not fall back to 01:00hrs as desired”.
