Thanks for the suggestion, Don.

/etc/default/rcS contains:

# Set UTC=yes if your system clock is set to UTC (GMT), and UTC=no if not.
UTC=no

Now, I'm a bit puzzled by the comment since to me the "system clock" is 
the clock maintained by the kernel, which IS on UTC; it is the "hardware 
clock" which is on local time.  The system clock should be set from the 
hardware clock at boot, and it is - since the "date" command gives the 
correct UTC date and time.
