<![CDATA[Bug: local time confused by time zone]]>Sometimes I need to change my system clock to a non-local time zone, but this confuses Flux. For example, at 4pm in Los Angeles in the summer it is 11pm GMT. If I set my system clock to GMT with sudo systemsetup -settimezone GMT, Flux will ask if my location has changed. I can confirm my location is still Los Angeles (longitude around -120ยบ), but flux still reacts as if it's nearly midnight. In short, Flux doesn't seem to account for the OS timezone when asking the OS what time it is.

Here is a tester script to compare with our server:

So yes, if "UTC time" in the OS is wrong, we will transition at the wrong time.

We only use tz changes as a cue to adjust location (like for traveling between timezones), but cancelling this dialog is just fine too.
