I could not reproduce this under Linux. Will try later with OpenBSD. As PHP uses the underlying C functions for this, this might actaully be a problem with FreeBSD.

It doesn't occur under OpenBSD; it looks like a FreeBSD issue (happens on 4.x-STABLE as well).  This came up recently on the Horde/Chora list:

Closing this one, as it seems an issue with FreeBSD's daylight savings time.

It?s really a FreeBSD?s daylight savings bug.

Try:

mktime(0,0,0,10,13,2002) and you?ll get -1.

13/10/2001 is the first day in daylight savings time.

This problem also occurs on windows98.
