Strange problem in time conversion with MC CGI on Apache

Hi folks,

I need to get the GMT time (2 hrs behind my local time).
So, on my PC (Mac or Win) I use the following script :

    get short time
    convert it to seconds
    subtract 7200 from it
    convert it to time

Result :    4:34 PM becomes 2:34 PM

that works fine.

Now I want to do the same with MC running as CGI on
Apache. So I run the same script, and big surprise :
4:34 PM becomes 3:34 PM !!!!!
1 hr (or 3600 sec) get lost somewhere...

and when I check the content of "it" after subtracting 7200,
I have a difference of 7200 from the original time, so the
computation of seconds is correct...

Needless to say I'm puzzled...
Any idea ?

Thanks,
JB
