+Patch from Andrew Suffield:
+> 'TZ=MOO date' gives confusing output; it uses UTC but claims to be
+> whatever timezone you told it. If you were expecting the timezone to
+> be valid, this output is not correct.
+>
+> This is caused by the way that glibc parses $TZ; if the string is
+> unrecognised, it interprets it as a name followed by an offset from
+> UTC. (The relevant code is tzset_internal() in time/tzset.c)
+>
+> The code already checks to see whether there is a valid offset in the
+> string or not. Currently it copies the timezone name first; since the
+> intent was probably not to change the name if no offset was specified,
+> I propose this change:
+>
+> [... see patch below ...]
+>
+> The old behaviour is still available by using TZ="MOO+0", if it is
+> really desirable to change the name of the timezone in this manner.
