Hi Pjotr,
I just tested the above, and it worked just fine for me with 4.0.
But I have noticed something. If I mess up my shell, it will mess up
all programs started from it, including MySQL. We can not do anything
about it ...
If a shell that starts up MySQL does not have TZ set properly then
there is not much we can do about it ...
