$ TZ=Croatia/Split date
Mon Sep 13 06:57:13 Croatia/Split 2004
... when it's really 8:50 there. Croatia/Split does not have
a zoneinfo entry, so date uses GMT instead. Well, then it should say
"GMT" before the year, no? Should be trivial...
Thanks,

But I guess that date can now compare the TZ environment variable and
the result of %Z in the call to strftime.
No, date can't do that because TZ is neither the only nor the primary
way to set the time zone. The details of how the timezone is set is not
date's business. Now that the default output gives an indication that a
bogus timezone setting is being ignored I think the bug can be closed.
