[gentoo-user] My machine wakes up from hibernation in GMT time !?!?

["Walter Dnes" <waltdnes@waltdnes.org>]

  I'm in Canada/Eastern timezone.  For some reason, my machine seems to
come up in GMT when waking up from hibernation.  This started happening
a week or two ago.  I do not think this is related to my conversion and
re-install from 32-bit to 64-bit.  I worked OK for a while.  Only
recently did it start waking up with the clock 5 hours ahead of Eastern
Standard (i.e. GMT).  Since the time change this past Sunday, it's been
waking up 4 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight.  It definitely looks like
it's coming up in GMT.  I reset it to Eastern time, but after
hibernation and wakeup, it comes up GMT.  I don't know why.  Any ideas?
Here are the contents of...

/etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf
/etc/timezone
/etc/conf.d/hwclock

...a sanity-check on /etc/local/timezone

...my script to manually sync my machine clock.
