Comment 10 for bug 885163

I have prepared a patched version for Lucid. It is available in the ~rapidrollout/testing PPA:

Here is the relevant changeset:

This issue became more prominent for me today due to a recent time zone change:

I think this deserves an SRU for Lucid, but the fix first has to be applied in Precise, Oneiric, and Natty. I don't have time for all that this morning. Can anyone else take a look?

Thanks,
Forest
