Just to make sure environmental variables aren't getting messed with somehow,
try running this:
echo "console.log((new Date()).toLocaleString());" |
TZ='America/Los_Angeles' node
Should print out a locale string at GMT-0700 (PDT). If it doesn't, then I'd
defer to someone else who's more knowledgeable about the internals of Node's
Date object than myself. :)
