Nope.  If you've got your hardware clock set for "local time", that
should include any adjustments for DST; i.e. the same as what `date`
spits out.

Also check `date -u` (should display a time 9 hours prior to
daylight-saved local time) and `date -R` (should display the correct
time and a +0900 offset).
