I think the problem was a corrupt /etc/localtime.

When I set up the system I made /etc/localtime a symlink, but SOMETHING seemed 
to have changed that and replaced it with a copy of (what I presume to have 
been) the file the symlink should have been pointing to. Unfortunately it 
must have been a corrupt copy. Deleting this file and reinserting the symlink 
seems to have made the problem go away.

I think the guilty SOMETHING was most likely the kde date and time setting 
utility.

Thanks once again to everybody for their help.
