I'm supporting a 16-bit app developed with BCPP 4.51.  At various times it
has to read the current time from the PC using time() and localtime().  On
Win98, it works fine. On Win2K and WinXP, some users reported that the
reported time was sometimes not correct. I have been able to duplicate the
problem by running the app and having it read the time, which it does
correctly.  Then, while the app is still running, I change the PC's clock by
bumping the hour ahead or back.  The app then reports the correct minutes
and seconds, but still reports the original hour that it was reporting
before I changed the clock.  If I close the app, then restart it, it now
reports the new time "correctly".

Any ideas?
