I should have said "struct timezone' instead of 'struct tz' (ain't no such animal). But the first argument is a struct timeval *, which has no reference to a timezone.
Anyway - pointless to argue - I'll make the changes. NULL should work: the man page says this:
If either tv or tz is null, the corresponding structure is not set

I've noticed an inconsistency in calls to gettimeofday(): sometimes it is passed a struct tz (which is ignored) as the second argument, and sometimes NULL as the second argument. My understanding is that the second argument is basically useless anyway - on my Linux box man gettimeofday says this:
You are confusing the second argument with something else (a field in the first argument struct). However, if we're assuming that NULL works in some places, we may as well use it everywhere that it makes sense.
