--- Comment #1 from bburette <bb...@noos.fr>  2009-02-07 01:15:01 PST ---
In the configuration used there "rotatelogs" was running in a chrooted
environment and could not access the files for timezone information so it was
in fact using GMT time instead of localtime in all date/time related stuff.

Adding the proper timezone files to the chrooted environment solved the bug.

Still, the documentation improperly states (and led me to think there was a
bug)

-l
    Causes the use of local time rather than GMT as the base for the interval
or for strftime(3) formatting with size-based rotation. Note that using -l in
an environment which changes the GMT offset (such as for BST or DST) can lead
to unpredictable results!

where I would rather read

-l
    Causes the use of local time rather than GMT as the base for the interval
and for strftime(3) formatting. Using -l in an environment which changes the
GMT offset (such as for BST or DST) is safe.
