[DUG] Bug in IDE - Daylight Saving?

I am sure its the IDE too.
I was not actually working Saturday night, I had a project open Saturday
morning, and PC resumed sunday night and came up with the date/time
messages.
I also have the IDE set to save on compile, but it is possible I was making
notes in one of the source routines and had not hit save manually, and may
not have done a compile. And I have no idea now if I was making notes - as
far as I can tell they are gone.
I also had a text editor open with several files (Editplus) which also
checks file date times and also will ask to reload, and and have never seen
this message from it with daylight saving changes.
I recall seeing this in the IDE either a year ago or in Autumn with the last
daylight change.
I am on Vista, which updates the clock quietly no problem, and I understand
that Vista (or NTFS) uses Universal Time date/time stamps on files, and
adjusts the time display accordingly to the Time Zone/Daylight saving, so I
reckon the bug is that the time zone/daylight saving change was not detected
by the IDE since it was started and it got fooled.
Is this a known bug or should I file one? (I am not at all familiar with how
to though).
