I can answer the first part: at the date/time you specified, i.e. 31
December 1973, daylight savings time wasn't in operation, so the
timezone is CET rather than CEST.
I think I've fixed the other problem (11:43 becomes 09:43), but I can't
get my head fully around toClockTime, so it might still be wrong.
Cheers,
