Does anyone disagree? I don't think POSIX reaches this question. It says that there shall be a default timezone used when the TZ variable is not set, but doesn't say how this is established or what it should be, so I'm fine with that. (But it will be a challenge to find the right bits in localtime.c to frob in order to make it happen, as I just found when I looked.) -GAWollman
