I could have sworn swear this was a known bug, but I don't see a reference
to it in Red Hat's bugzilla.  I think it's this one (or one of the related
ones) upstream:  http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=24082

The above is reported as fixed in 1.1.2.

To forestall a bunch of "works for me", "doesn't work for me" posts, yes
it works for some people and not for others.  (Doesn't work for me.)  It
seems to be related to timezone/daylight time issues.
