Ugh, that's not good.
Based on that, I guess I have to change my vote: justify_hours should
still not look at the month (because it shouldn't use the month=30days
assumption), but justify_days should be changed to be effectively a
combination of both functions --- that is, it should fix all three
fields using both the 30days and the 24hours assumptions. Then it could
guarantee that all come out with the same sign.
