Comment (by dustin):

 tom.prince - that solution is the problem we're solving here -- IST is not
 an integer number of hours offset from UTC.

 wakeupsid: I think that the problem lies in advancing the clock *after*
 the scheduler has been started -- that effectively starts the clock 30
 minutes *before* the hour, and then advances it by 30 minutes immediately.

 I've attached a version of your patch, adjusted to advance the clock just
 after it's created, and then advance it by 0 seconds once the scheduler
 has started.
