Regression from 0.11.7 - wrong datetime shown for up to a minute after setting clock forwards

On Windows 7:

Run node.exe
Enter "new Date()" and press enter
Adjust the system clock by moving it forward a 3 minutes
Press up and enter to repeat step 2. Notice the time shows the wrong value for minutes. This is incorrect for up to about a minute.

This issue occurs on Windows from Node.js 0.11.8 onwards. Doesn't seem to occur on Linux.

This issue also occurs in Google Chrome.

I believe v8 caches the date configuration and allows for a notification that date has changed. I would say this is working as expected though.

Closing as this isn't really in our control. This is due to the way v8 caches the date/time
