jquery.timepicker DST问题？

Question

I am using the jQuery plugin jquery.timepicker

var dateObj = new Date("Mon, 05 Nov 2012 06:30:00 -0600");
$('#my_start_time_id').timepicker('setTime', dateObj);

But the time set is shifting back by one hour. That is, the time set to $('#my_start_time_id') is 5.30am instead of 6.30am .

I am seeing this issue after today's DST changes. Could you please give some hints to fix this issue?

Note : I checked the value of 'dateObj' it is Mon Nov 05 2012 06:30:00 GMT-0600 (CST)

This was due to a bug in jquery.timepicker plugin on DST transition day. Inside this plugin, it uses a variable called '_baseDate' which is set to starting a day.The _baseDate should be adjusted on DST transition day(Like Nov 4th 2012 in US timezones)
