DST doesn't work correctly with german rules

I think I found a bug in the custom DST definition.

I defined the custom DST definition.
The german rules are:
- last sunday of march at 2:00 -> to 3:00
- last sunday of october at 3:00 -> back to 2:00

I defined the timezone: +1:00 (Berlin)
And the device get the correct time from our time-server.

But the time in the device is still one hour short.
It should be 17:02. But the bottom right corner (see screenshot) says 16:02.

If I select the "Traditional US DST" wich is just a few weeks different from our rules, it works fine!

If I change the definition from "last sunday of october" to "last *saturday* of october", it works immediately.
Maybe there is a problem, because the last sunday of october this year is the 31st. (Just a guess)


fyi:
AP9631
sumx v5.1.3
aos v5.1.3
bootmon v1.0.1


Thanks for you help
Christoph

btw: What's the difference between "Fourth/Last" and "Fifth/Last"?

i am still looking into this but in the meantime, can you provide event.txt and config.ini from the card please? i posted instructions in the other thread but just incase, [here they are|http://nam-en.apc.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9321/kw/].

also, how long are you waiting before checking to make sure its updated? i imagine you have let it run for a few days and it never updates?
