horology regression test failure

Hi!

On almost all Debian platforms the horology test for 8.0.3 fails.
Sometimes it works on a platform, sometimes not, I did not yet find a
pattern, but most often it fails with something like

*** ./expected/horology.out     Sun Jul 11 04:57:20 2004
--- ./results/horology.out      Thu Sep 29 20:48:57 2005

However, not even that is entirely consistent; the numbers are always
fine, but the second timezone is sometimes PST, sometimes PDT. Is this
problem known?

In case it matters, packages are configured with

                    --enable-nls \
                    --enable-integer-datetimes \
                    --enable-debug \
                    --disable-rpath \
                    --with-tcl \
                    --with-perl \
                    --with-python \
                    --with-pam \
                    --with-krb5 \
                    --with-openssl \
                    --with-gnu-ld \
                    --with-tclconfig=3D/usr/lib/tcl$(TCL_VER) \
                    --with-tkconfig=3D/usr/lib/tk$(TCL_VER) \
                    --with-includes=3D/usr/include/tcl$(TCL_VER):/usr/lib/R=
/include \
                    --with-pgport=3D5432 \

Thanks in advance!
