Hello Pjotr,

We did not changed it recently. If you take a look at Changelog, you
will see that nothing like that was introduced. 

mysqld.cc has the following code at the beginning :

tzset(); 

and that is all.

Regarding a strange thing when you set TZ that it changes time, this
is /bin/sh doing by help of kernel, of course.

Check it out. Change TZ and watch your time change. 


We truly can't do anything about it. We must use OS C API functions
for such things. Anyway, all those functions we use are POSIX compliant.
