Comment (by molecularbear):

 I have been experiencing "'''Problem 2: Viewing'''" that the original
 poster describes (all dates appear correct, server time is correct, I have
 adjusted the UTC offset in WP, etc). I found that newly published posts in
 the database had the correct {{{post_date}}}, but that the
 {{{post_date_gmt}}} was off by one hour. I tracked the problem to function
 {{{get_gmt_from_date}}} in {{{formatting.php}}}, but found that the issue
 ran deeper than the WP code.

 Function {{{gmmktime}}} depends upon function {{{mktime}}}. I am running
 PHP 4.3.4, but according to the [http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php PHP
 ChangeLog], there was [http://bugs.php.net/27719 a bug] in {{{mktime}}}
 that was fixed in PHP 4.3.6.

 To see if you have the same problem, check your PHP version with {{{php
 -v}}}, or run this:

 {{{
 echo gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', gmmktime(0, 0, 0, 4, 20, 2007)) . "\n";
 }}}

 The correct output is this:

 {{{
 2007-04-20 00:00:00
 }}}

 The problematic output is this (i.e., an hour off):

 {{{
 2007-04-20 01:00:00
 }}}
