 We have tried to find a happy medium.  There is, unfortunately, no
 hour of the night which does not suffer from this problem somewhere in
 the world.  We have tried to err on the side of caution (making sure
 that periodic scripts run *at least* once) rather than allowing them
 to possibly fail to run in some jurisdictions.
