Cron and Summer/winter time

Guys,
I'm sure there is a solution for this:
When I schedule a daily job to run at 1:30 AM and we switch from Winter to
Summer time, the job doesn't run, because when the clock reaches 1 AM it's
suddenly 2 AM and 1:30 AM never happens.
The same job would run twice, when we switch back because when it's 2 AM, it
has already run 30 minutes before, but then it's suddenly 1 AM again and
it'll run again in 30 minutes.
For simple clean-up jobs, this might be acceptable, but when running more
complex jobs that need to run once and only once per day, this isn't going to
work too well.
Any ideas?
Chris
