Currently there are two sources of timelocal related bugs:

 - The macintosh has a different epoch, and I might not have corrected all
   places in the libraries where assumptions about the epoch were made. These
   bugs are mine to correct.
 - Integer arithmetic in Perl5.002 is buggy. These bugs will go away when I
   can upgrade to 5.004
