Ugh, I'm too tired to file a gdb report:

1490                    t = mktime(tmp);
(gdb)
1491                    fprintf(stderr, "%p\n", t);
(gdb) print t
$7 = -1

Good call Tom.  ...  I'm going to file a PR w/ FreeBSD.  I know the
attached patch is something of a hack, but it works.  I'm not totally
wild about altering the original time object, but I don't know that I
have a choice in this case.  Does anyone switch timezones and only
adjust their clocks by anything other than 60min?  I seem to recall
that happening in a few places, but the patch isn't any worse than
where we are now. ::shrug:: This look like an okay patch?
