In 0.9.69, MOL passes on uses the value returned by time() to
OSX (OSX asks for GMT time). This should be always work.

In 0.9.68, the time stuff might very well be broken (I have to
check the source). At least a different time algorithm was
used. I suspect the localtime (which is what classic MacOS
wants) was passed as GMT.
