    Collector #1397: testTimeStamp fails on FreeBSD · 9ff85cee

    Forward-porting from Zope 2.7.
    
    The checkFullTimeStamp() test was sensitive to unique mktime() behavior
    on FreeBSD.  See:
    
    http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-standards/2003-November/000268.html 
    
    The purpose of this test is to exercise ZODB's TimeStamp object, so got
    rid of dependence on platform mktime() and time.timezone quirks --
    TimeStamp works in GMT, so how mktime() treats tm_isdst should be
    irrelevant in all TimeStamp tests.
    
    Also added a comment about the highly non-obvious numeric characteristics
    of TimeStamp's treatment of seconds (round-tripping is surprisingly
    inaccurate, but for a real reason).
