Hello *, It's that time of the year again when time004 fails... and there's also an associated ticket: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4440 On 2013-10-27 at 11:03:41 +0100, Herbert Valerio Riedel wrote:
if anyone wonders, why TEST=time004 suddenly fails: it's sensitive to DST (and depends on your system's TZ-config):

For me, the comparison this unit-test checks now suddenly fails, because the DST-switch occurs on different days in 2012 and 2013 in my TZ, i.e.
length "Sun Oct 27 10:56:42 CET 2013" /= length "Sat Oct 27 11:56:42 CEST 2012"
Does anyone happen to know what the rationale behind this 'time004' unit test was?
