It may be. This really sounds like a timezone problem.
Under NetBSD, the timezone is set by /etc/localtime, which is a link 
to the rigth timezone file in /usr/share/zoneinfo.
I don't know how it works under linux, but you should set up you
/emul/linux so that linux binaries uses the same timezone.

If there is no references to this in the INSTALL notes you should
send a pr about this.
