I have not found it simple to reproduce the symptoms in the
intepreter, but I have found that if I do
struct tm manually_initialized;
manually_initialized.tm_year = 2000;
strftime(buf, buf_size, "%Z", &manually_initialized);
The printed time zone is garbage, which is an indication of danger.
Unlike my complex case, the tzname twins are not corrupted by this
exercise.
If I do
struct tm zeroed = {0};
manually_initialized.tm_year = 2000;
strftime(buf, buf_size, "%Z", &zero_initialized);
The printed time zone is PST (TZ happens to be "America/Los_Angeles")
Aside: I am not super-certain of the zero-initialized semantics with
respect to the language. The idiom I used is defined in C++ but the
program is C.
