ELK M1 DST issue again?

Ugh, not again. Did anyone else experience the lack of adjustment for daylight savings?
I thought this was addressed in the latest firmware? It was working last fall.
 
Mine appeared to work OK, based on log records, but I still think something's "not right" with the M1 logic.
 
Log records.  Left column is PC date, right column is data logged from ELK
 
This was yesterday at at 23:59

The DST flag (after the date, ddmmyy, 080314) is "0".
 
This was today at 00:00.

The DST flag has already changed to "1", even though its still technically standard time until 2am.

This was 1:59am.  Notice the time change, 01:59:xx to 03:00:xx (16XKssmmhh) "515901" to "210003".
 
 
I forgot to mention, it jumped 2 hours ahead. Why can't this work? Every other device I have has no issue, but a super fancy home automation/security device can't figure it out.
 
Maybe I don't have it programmed right - isn't there a spot for that somewhere?

You have to enable the automatic DST change in the Global Systems Defs menu, G05.
 
Thanks RAL. Just checked. Mine is enabled correctly - second Sunday in March. Oh well - minor inconvienence.
 
Mine always works correctly the day of - then a day or two later, it gets screwy - then within a week it straightens itself out.
 
Maybe I'll do some firmware updates tonight - when the family isn't napping...

Exactly what my system does.
 
Mine correctly updated Sunday morning. Last night when I got home, it was an hour ahead. I manually changed it to the correct time. As of this morning, it's still correct.
 
An alarm panel is something you rely on being bullet-proof. This continuing problem is unsettling.

Is anyone current on firmware that can say if this problem still exists?  I haven't updated firmware in a couple years.
