I think it's because of the difference between GMT and UTC, and my clock was badly synchronized. Btw, anyone could run into this kind of problem when using the script. Makes me think I should get the time from a NTP server and not locally. We're already using a public web service in this script so we can assume the user has Internet connectivity. What do you think about that?
I think we can assume that the user has their time and timezone set correctly on their own machine. If not, it is OK if the script prints wrong time-related results, just like the rest of Nmap (and their other software) will. If the user cares about this, hopefully they will set their system time properly (or run NTP themselves).
