E+ Crash w/ RunPeriodControl:DaylightSavingTime that wraps around year

[shorowit]

Issue overview

Using a RunPeriodControl:DaylightSavingTime object is sometimes causing an EnergyPlus crash.

It appears to work fine if the end date is after the start date (representative of the northern hemisphere) like so:

RunPeriodControl:DaylightSavingTime,
  Mar 15,                                 !- Start Date
  Oct 15;                                 !- End Date

But EnergyPlus crashes if the end date is before the start date (representative of the southern hemisphere) like so:

RunPeriodControl:DaylightSavingTime,
  Oct 15,                                 !- Start Date
  Mar 15;                                 !- End Date

Note that the documentation suggests it should work -- see the example for Brazil here.
