That is definitely part of the issue. My local time is GMT-04, and here's what I get when specifying the time in my test: Test date: 5/4/2018 03:59:00 Formatted: 05/03/18 Thu Test date: 5/4/2018 04:00:00 Formatted: 05/04/18 Fri However, if I look at time in the results, the difference isn't exactly the offset: Test date: 5/4/2018 03:59:00 Formatted: 05/03/18 23:05:00 Difference: 4:54:00 Test date: 5/4/2018 04:00:00 Formatted: 05/04/18 00:05:00 Difference: 3:55:00 Test date: 5/4/2018 00:00:00 Formatted: 05/03/18 20:05:00 Difference: 3:55:00 The offset isn't an even number of hours. What's also odd is that this was never a problem before about a week ago. This code is many years old, and the problem suddenly began occurring with compiled code.
