Issues that the hotfix package fixes

This hotfix package fixes the following issue:

• 938663  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=938663/ ) One-time timer jobs in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 are delayed by at least one hour when the jobs are scheduled to occur during daylight saving time (DST)

This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

• Search results are listed in an incorrect order when you click "View by Modified Date"
  
  You search for content in a list in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Then, you click View by Modified Date to sort the search results by the date that the items were last modified. However, when you view the search results, items are listed in an incorrect order. You experience this issue after the crawler performs an incremental crawl of the content.
  
  This problem occurs in scenarios in which the incremental crawl incorrectly processes the time that the items were last modified.
  
• The last-modified date of items in the search results are displayed incorrectly as either yesterday's date or tomorrow's date
  
  You search for content in SharePoint Server 2007. When you view the search results, the date that is displayed as the date that the items were last modified is incorrect. The last-modified date is incorrectly displayed as either yesterday's date or tomorrow's date.
  
  This problem occurs in scenarios in which the conversion of the last-modified date and last-modified time from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to local time is processed incorrectly.
  
• Language-specific special characters are displayed incorrectly on Web pages of the destination site collection after you run a content deployment job
  
  You run a content deployment job to copy content from a source site collection to a destination site collection. Web pages in the source site collection have one or more columns that contain certain language-specific special characters such as ó or ê. After you run the content deployment job, you notice that the special characters are displayed incorrectly in Web pages of the destination site collection. You also experience this issue if you use the Stsadm.exe command-line tool to export content or to import content.
  
  This problem occurs if the special characters are encoded incorrectly.
