Did the recent changes to Squeak's Date/Time handling (or any 3rd party lib)
ever solve the following longstanding Chronology bug:

>Consider this thought experiment: 
> At 11:59pm before DST changes, eval aDate := '1/1/1901' asDate. 
> Now, wait two minutes and at 12:01am eval self assert: '1/1/1901' asDate =
> aDate and… whammo, an exception! 
> The "different" offsets render equal dates unequal depending on when the
> objects were created. 
> The fact that the offset is the one active at object creation is the key
> error, because it should be the offset active when the date occurred.
