garbled dates and crashes

Hi,

Since there were some reports on both our mailing lists about users 
having either segfaults during checkout/update and/or garbled dates 
shown for logs, you might be interested in my findings about that issue:

http://tortoisesvn.net/node/330

I've also added a FAQ about this here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/faq.html#garbleddate

Just in case this comes up again...

Stefan

Sounds like some great detective work.  I had been holding off
installing SP3.  I guess it is safe to do so.

Ups, sorry, I should have mentioned that myself in the mail.
I'll do better next time :)

To save other people time: the conclusion is that the bug is not in
Subversion but in Windows installations that have had their time zone
information tweaked, and affects many applications, and there is a fix
that users can apply.
