Ummm, my tests show that it works with all standard TZ values (at
least the ones I samples EST, EST5EDT, America/New_York).  It didn't
work with /home/imp/bogus/time/zone, which was the intent of the
change.  If my tests were flawed, then please let me know what I
broke.  I tested this with a setuid copy of date.  Any my commit
message was horrible in that it cause confusion.  All I intended to do
was to disallow non-standard places.  If that isn't the case, please
let me know.
