Description
I'm testing on Mac OS/X and using Firefox 3. Set the timezone to anything east of GMT (I selected BST). Run test_TimeTextBox.html and click the textbox labeled "24 Hour Time with 1 Hour TimePicker?". The time intervals will be > 1 hour but should be 15 minutes. This seems to work OK on Windows. Fails on Ubuntu as well. The problem is that a date of Jan 1, 1970 is used by dojo.date.stamp.fromISOString, but midnight in BST (passed to the method) is a negative time relative to midnight GMT and thus bad things happen.

workaround to fromISOstring returning incorrect Date objects

Entering 12:30 AM manually in the TimeTextBox? calls dojo.date.locale.parse which returns a Date object containing 1:30AM, so a dijit workaround is insufficient. Short of getting a fix from Firefox, either changing the default date to Jan 2, 1970 in both dojo and dijit, or just changing it for timezones east of GMT (more code, less impact), may be the only options to fix this. I guess it's also possible that if parse adds an additional defaultDate parameter similar to fromISOstring that dijit's TimeTextBox? could make use of this.

is there a related daylight savings issue here for TimeTextBox?, in general? Without specifying a date, the timezone is going to be wrong half the time where daylight savings is observed.

I tried this on OSX 10.6.8 using FF 4.0 + Dojo 1.7.0 with timezone=GMT+0100 (Madrid, Spain) and it's working OK. If there's another specific timezone that fails, then it's probably a wontfix.
fromISOstring calls new Date(1970, 0, 1, 0, 15, 0, 0) for T00:15:00 and new Date(1970, 0, 1, 1, 15, 0, 0) for T01:15:00, but both Date objects return 1 for getHours().
