Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2023 11:51:01 +0000

Dear maintainers,

While trying the following snippet in both Lisbon and Athens, we
get the same timer object as showed in list-timers.

(run-at-time t 14400 #'message "Testing")

What we would expect, is two different timer objects accounting for the
different time zones.

We did a edebug and found out that the function aforementioned on the
subject is always returning the same value despite of the different
local times.

Are we missing something obvious or is this a bug?

Best regards and thank you in advanced,
Bruno and Protesilaos
