I'm running the commands from a SSH shell logged in as root. What do you mean
by setuid wrapper?

Don't use a setuid wrapper to run postcat. When Potfix commands run
with uid != euid, they don't trust the environment, and always report
GMT. If you run "postcat" and "mailq" with uid == euid == 0
(root),
the results are consistent.
