Subject: slightly modified fix

Hi Ian,

I found your posting very helpful.

The bug still seems to be there at least under glibc 2.3.2 (redhat 9).
I noticed it in smartd (package: smartmontools) and have just fixed it in
the code.

One small item. I think your suggested inner loop block:
        if (!getenv("TZ"))
        {
            putenv("TZ=GMT");
            tzset();
            putenv("TZ");
        }

should read:
        if (!getenv("TZ"))
        {
            putenv("TZ=GMT");
            tzset();
            putenv("TZ");
            tzset();
         }
since you were flying to London, you might not have noticed this!

Cheers,
 Bruce
