I did try _04 too. I hadn't noticed the TZ difference, but it's still showing as 5pm rather than 10am:

strftime: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 17:07:42 PDT

And no, I forgot about the month being zero based for the test. Thx.

Yes, that's definitely the problem. It seems that localtime is changing the epoch as well as setting the offset so you're always getting back to the same displayed hour when you apply both (and gmtime is of course doing neither). Good spot.
