Note that mktime expects the "struct tm" you pass it to be expressed
in local time, but QuickFIX UtcTimeStamps use GMT as their basis.  I
think this is just a timezone conversion issue.  You need to express
your start and end times (and store your session creation time) in
GMT, not local time.

Since you've written your own store (and decoupled it from the
application with a messaging middleware) there are several different
places where you may be converting time formats so its really hard to
tell where the problem lies precisely, but I think the code you pasted
is just working around another problem.
