I too wonder if this is something that needs fixing and as a practical matter
can be fixed. I use both Linux and OS/2 24/7, and Samba as both client and
server on Linux, while ancient LANMAN on OS/2. After each switch to/from DST,
Linux and OS/2 timestamps get out of sync by one hour, until I reboot OS/2,
which brings sync back.
