Rob Stampfli gave the sanest explanation of the chronological madness that took
place last night.  Between various reboots, reconversions of the binaries, and
different settings of TZ, smgr (no shared libraries) and date (shared
libraries) were either 1 or 2 hours behind, and agreed with each other about
half the time.  When I finally got them to agree with each other and got date
to fess up that it was EDT I manually set the time and rebooted, and it's been
okay since.  Resetting from the hardware clock was undoubtably the culprit.

And my thanks to Rob for reminding us to convert ctime.o in libp.a.
