This is due to a bug introduced in Qt 6.8 on FreeBSD. I wrote a 3 line test snippet to 
demonstrate the bug, and tried to report the bug on the Qt bug tracker. However, in 
its Platform drop-down, there was no FreeBSD option. Is FreeBSD actually officially 
supported by Qt?

The bug results in QDateTime doing a time zone conversion whose result is 1 
second in error. The FreeBSD CI system has a system time zone of UTC+00:00:01 - 
rather strange since normally UTC offsets are multiples of an hour or half hour. I'm 
not sure whether this is in any way triggering the bug, but regardless, it's no excuse 
for QDateTime's misbehaviour.
