[mythtv-users] Mythweb DST buglet

[Sean Healy]

I noticed and was able to replicate this too.  It appears the error is with
MySQL keeping time based on the /etc/localtime settings when MySQL starts.

So if you updated your tzdata but haven't rebooted or restarted MySQL since
doing the update, you should probably go ahead and do that.

Cheers,
Sean.
