 Log Message:
 When computing relative months, use mktime() directly and don't call
 our Convert(). And check it for failure. This fixes three sets of
 problems:
 
   (1) depending on the passed-in value of Timezone it might
       disassemble the time in one timezone and reassemble it in
       another, causing mysterious offsets of a few hours;
 
   (2) with the previous set of changes to this file, Convert() fails
       if it ends up normalizing a date, so e.g. going three months
       forward from March 31 would fail;
 
   (3) previously if Convert() failed we passed -1 on to DSTcorrect(),
       which made a mess.
