Description

For some reason, on one of my machines, the current DST offset changes between calls. See <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1444?focusedCommentId=16428263&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-16428263>. This will cause surefire to think the forked VM terminated, as the string compare of time stamps detects a change.

It would be good if the comparison code would actually parse the string value into a DST/TZ agnostic value for comparison.
