Summary: clock format result wrong in timezone MET-1METDST

Initial Comment:
On our HP-UX system, since last sunday (oct 26, 2008)
"clock format [clock seconds]" is giving the wrong
answer:
% clock format 1225288971 -timezone MET-1METDST
Wed Oct 29 16:02:51 METDST 2008

This is wrong: last sunday, summertime ended in
Europe, so the right answer is:

% clock format 1225288971 -timezone MET-1METDST
Wed Oct 29 15:02:51 MET 2008

In Europe,  summertime starts the last sunday in
March at 1:00 GMT and ends the last sunday of oktober
at 2:00 GMT. See:
  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Summer_Time>

Next week, it will be OK again.

Problem is still present in CVS trunk
