I recently built a CD of images to give to a friend. I noticed the timestamps 
displayed when I list the CD contents are five hours earlier than they should 
be. Five hours matches my GMT offset. This is a dual-boot system with Win XP, 
so the hardware clock is set to local time.

E.g. a file on my hard drive has a correct timestamp
-rw-------  1 bobo  bobo  2246671 Jan 19 12:22 IMG_0660_080115_2348.JPG

while the same file on the resulting CD looks like
-rw-------  1 bobo  bobo  2246671 Jan 19 07:22 IMG_0660_080115_2348.JPG

The "date" command returns the correct local time.

Did I do something incorrectly, or is this a bug in mkisofs? It appears to me 
that mkisofs decided to correct for GMT offset when it shouldn't have.

The sequence of operations I followed is below.
