I disagree. This warning occurs, for example, when I create a tarball on one computer and then transfer it to another computer and build it there. If the time difference is "12 seconds" I know I can retry in 15 seconds. If the time difference is "59 minutes" I know I should better change the DST settings of one of the machines. Bruno
