Stefaan, the line that worries me in that snip you quoted was the one
containing -0000. A negative GMT or UTC or whatever you call it means
that there is a difficulty with the timezone on the local machine (IIRC
RFC822) and due to an error in RFC822 definition of Military TZ codes
(reversed offset from UTC) RFC1123 suggests the use of -0000 should be
substituted for all Mil TZs.
Does this have any bearing on his problem? I don't know as I have not
been following it in detail. The -0000 just hit my eye.
