Haa.. there it is.  Yes to UTC.  But that must have been the case all along
and this just started recently. So, as others have pointed out in the
thread, it must be related to the base-1/base-2 changes.

Local time zone is correct (chicago)

Next time I reboot, I'll check to see if I can change the UTC in bios,
but I don't think I saw such an option when I looked there yesterday.
I wasn't looking for that either though.

But I'm guessing the setting in /etc/conf.d/hwclock to set the
hardware to system at shutdown will fix this, long as I'm not shutdown
very long.  I think the setting holds a while.

I'll test it by setting it with `hwclock --set' and see how long it takes to
return to the utc time.
