All of these are affected by the same issue as the ones that
we're already skipping during this specific time interval.

*if* you can explain to me why (at 11:55PM local time on Jan 1) all 28
of virtimetest cases were run by "ninja -C build test", with test 27 &
28 failing, *but* when I just ran build/tests/virtimetest directly, it
succeeded - running it under gdb I found that isNearYearEnd() properly
returned true, so the final 8 tests aren't run (as you would expect).
Not only that, but when I ran "ninja -C build test" at 12:01AM Jan 2,
test 28 failed; it also failed when I directly ran virtimetest.
For the first problem - is it possible that ninja is setting the
timezone to something different during the build? My machine is in EST
(UTC -5).
For the 2nd problem - maybe we need to widen the definition of
"isNearYearEnd()"? If I make the following change then the final tests
are skipped by both ninja -C build test and virtimetest directly when
the date is 12;14AM Jan 2. Oh, wait. That solves the 1st problem too :-)

Same :)
*if* you can explain to me why (at 11:55PM local time on Jan 1) all
28 of
virtimetest cases were run by "ninja -C build test", with test 27 & 28
failing, *but* when I just ran build/tests/virtimetest directly, it
succeeded - running it under gdb I found that isNearYearEnd() properly
returned true, so the final 8 tests aren't run (as you would expect).
Not only that, but when I ran "ninja -C build test" at 12:01AM Jan 2, test
28 failed; it also failed when I directly ran virtimetest.
For the first problem - is it possible that ninja is setting the timezone to
something different during the build? My machine is in EST (UTC -5).
I don't think that's the case: I hacked virtimetest to print out the
timezone, and I get the same output whether I run it through 'meson
test' (or 'ninja test') or as a standalone program.
While doing so, I also realized something that should probably have
been obvious: since each call to TEST_LOCALOFFSET() sets the TZ
environment variable and invokes tzset(), depending on where in the
test program it is called isNearYearEnd() might return a different
result.
So perhaps we should call isNearYearEnd() once, before the first call
to TEST_LOCALOFFSET(), and use that result to decide which tests to
skip?
Honestly I'm still unclear on the interactions between the data we're
testing and the local timezone of the machine we're running tests on.
I basically shamelessly cargo-culted the existing approach :)
