What then would account for my times being right before I issue the setenv,
and the times being right everywhere else (such as system message
timestamps).

That's a serious question -- how could that be?

<snip>
In accordance with an earlier thread I am setting _TZ to 'EST5EDT'
rather
than the configured null so that strftime("%z") works as expected.

I just discovered that that is throwing my local times off by 7 minutes.
