I have implemented a kludge fix that does work... when its time to switch 
timezones you just have to patch the /etc/TZ file for CST/CDT like so..
during CST the TZ fils says
CST6
dirubg CDT the file says
CDT5

this does a few things 1) it keeps GMT <system time> correct. 2) all the
programs work with it.. there is 1 drwaback.. you have to reboot to make it
take affect globally.. It does affect all subsequent logins etc. but the smgr
doesnt know about the file being edited.
