Hi Ian, I found your posting very helpful.
The bug still seems to be there at least under glibc 2.3.2 (redhat 9).
I noticed it in smartd (package: smartmontools) and have just fixed it in
the code.
One small item. I think your suggested inner loop block:
if (!getenv("TZ"))
{
putenv("TZ=GMT");
tzset();
putenv("TZ");
}
should read:
if (!getenv("TZ"))
{
putenv("TZ=GMT");
tzset();
putenv("TZ");
tzset();
}
since you were flying to London, you might not have noticed this!
Cheers,
Bruce
