The following program always produces "GMT":

    public class time {
        public static void main(String argv[]) {
            System.out.println(java.util.TimeZone.getDefault().getID());
        }
    }

I would like it to produce "PDT".  (This causes a problem with
MoneyDance.)
This is true both using TYA and using the default interpreter.
The system knows the correct date -- typing "date" I get:
    Tue May 18 14:54:28 PDT 1999
This is based on the internal clock modified by /etc/localtime, which
is a copy of PST8PDT.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to recognize the timezone
correctly?
