Summary: Time conversion from UTC to local appears to apply 2007 rules to 2006 dates

Initial Comment:
Execute the following code on Windows in North America

t = TIme.local(2006,11,5,0,0,0)
u = t + (6 * 60 * 60)
puts(u.strftime("%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S - should be 2006/11/05 06:00:00"))

result is:
2006/11/05 05:00:00 - should be 2006/11/05 06:00:00

November 5th, 2006 is the date that Daylight Saving Time would have ended last year \
if the new 2007 North American rules had been in effect last year.  In reality the \
switch last year was on Oct 29, 2006 and that date also gives incorrect results. \
March 11, 2007 gives the correct result.
