European summertime and host/guest time sync

[lnemo]

Hi all,

we have several Win XP VMs running with PD7 (latest or second-latest build) on Lion. They all share an issue related to the host/guest time sync:

With sync turned on, we have weird issues with Outlook calender events like birthdays spanning over two days instead of only one. Therefore we disabled time sync some weeks before and everything was fine.

Last weekend, European summertime started in many countries in the night between Saturday and Sunday, and now our time sync disabled VMs have their system time rolling forwards in increments of one hour every one or two minutes.

We fount no setting within the VM that could stop that behaviour. Of course reinstalled Parallels tools. No success. When changing the time within the VM it keeps to the right setting for one minute or so and then starts jumping forwars again.

Only turing the host/guest time sync on again has an effect.

What's that now? Any ideas?

Best regards
Chris.

Update: Found this kb article - http://kb.parallels.com/en/113470

Article suggests that build 15055 fixes the problem. After completely removing both the Parallels tools and the already installed 15055 build and reinstalling from the scratch I confirm: Behaviour is NOT fixed in the 15055 build! Maybe I got it wrong and they only said 'Yes, this is a bug in 15055 and we'll fix it in the next build'.
