If TimedRotatingFileHandler is instructed to roll over the log at
midnight or on a certain weekday, it needs to consider when daylight
savings time starts and ends. The current code just blindly adds
self.interval to self.rolloverAt, totally ignoring that sometimes it
should add 23 or 25 hours instead of 24 hours.

(I suspect that the implementation would be simpler if you use the
datetime module, rather than attempt to patch the existing code.)

Updated SVN, but not backported to 2.5 or earlier maintenance branches.
