[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks for the bug report.  My guess is that there's an incompatibility with 
FreeBSD 10.1 amd64 mktime.  I can't reproduce the problem on FreeBSD 9.1 x86.

Please try the attached patch, just for debugging, and then run the following 
one-line shell command:

src/emacs -Q -batch -eval '(progn (setenv "TZ" "Asia/Kolkata") (print 
(encode-time 44 42 6 15 2 2015 0 nil 0)))'

What output do you get?  Here's what I get on Fedora 21 x86-64, which seems correct:

oldtz=Asia/Kolkata tz=XXX-0:00:00 oldTZ=Asia/Kolkata TZ=XXX-0:00:00 2015-02-15 
06:42:44 -1 -> 2015-02-15 06:42:44 0 = 1423982564

Assuming you get different output, can you debug Emacs with GDB to send us more 
details about what's going wrong?  If not, can you give me access to a FreeBSD 
10.1 amd64 machine like yours?
