Andrew,

Another suggestion which appears to work without a kludge is a very minor
mod to the code originally contributed by Roger Beeman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
with the help of Mark Baushke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and the rest of the Gurus at
CISCO. Further improved by Roger with assistance from Edward J. Sabol based
on input by Jamie Zawinski. 
Setting this as a timegm replacement within lib/replace.c overcomes the need
to reset TIMEZONE.


 time_t timegm(struct tm *t)
{
  time_t tl, tb;
  struct tm *tg;

  tl = mktime (t);
  if (tl == -1)
    {
      t->tm_hour--;
      tl = mktime (t);
      if (tl == -1)
        return -1; /* can't deal with output from strptime */
      tl += 3600;
    }
  tg = gmtime (&tl);
  tg->tm_isdst = 0;
  tb = mktime (tg);
  if (tb == -1)
    {
      tg->tm_hour--;
      tb = mktime (tg);
      if (tb == -1)
        return -1; /* can't deal with output from gmtime */
      tb += 3600;
    }
  return (tl - (tb - tl));
