Hi, I noticed that I'm getting different times from the command line when use --login or not.
Here's a simple test. 1. Start from a Windows command prompt and start bash with "bash --login". In this case, I can see that the TZ variable is set to "Europe/Brussels". If I run date, I get "Wed, Oct 09, 2013 5:00:52 PM", while running the following command "emacs -Q --batch --eval '(message "%s" (format-time-string "%H:%M"))'" returns "16:00" (I get a difference of one hour). 2. Start from a Windows command prompt and start bash with "bash". In this case, the TZ variable is not set (no profile loaded). In this case, the 2 previous commands return the same correct time. Note that the "date" command returns the correct time in any case (with and without --login), while the emacs command returns the correct time only when --login is not used (I'm using a Windows version of Emacs, 24.3). I have no issue when using the Cygwin version of Emacs. I don't understand what's wrong in my configuration. Everything should be fine even when using the "bash --login" command to start Cygwin (this is the what the standard cygwin.bat batch file does). Any hint is welcome. Thanks a lot.
