There seems to be a bug in the mktime() function. Normally it works fine if
you give it a 'struct tm' that contains out of range data, and normalizes it.
However, if given, for instance, 'tm_mon = 3' (April) and 'tm_mday = 0' this
doesn't result in 'March 31', but rather 'March 30'.

Looks like I'll have to work around this bug in cTimer::IncDay()...
