Ian,
Thank you for reporting this along with the great description.  We

I am in the EST timezone (so GMT-5) but with Daylight Saving Time in effect here, we are really only GMT-4. When I set wrapper.timezone=GMT in the wrapper.config, the logs generated by our Java program (which always uses GMT) have the correct times in them, but the time in the wrapper log is off by 1 hour (i.e. in the program log I see 15:22:45 but in the wrapper log I see 16:22:45). If, however, I uncheck the box to automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time both the times from our Java program and the times in the Wrapper log are the same.
