I just been bugged by the Day light saving hours

I seem that 3rd November 2013 01:00:00 start EST time

Now ever Time I set my time to 3rd November 2013 00:58:xx(some seconds)

and run date

it give me valid Time zone i.e EDT

but

even after the time pass 01:00:00 and I still query the date library

I still see the Time zone as EDT and not EST

have a look at this screenshot enter image description here

You can clearly see the Time zone saying as EDT even when it is EST

any one has a clue for this

Update

There is one other finding I found if I restart my machine I see this
