I guess that depends upon if you're interested in figuring out what time
it is someplace else...

I'm a little bit baffled about why you would want to change the time
zone while a system is up and running.   Isn't this the kind of thing
you set and forget?

ok, this is a little more bizarre than I thought it was.

apparently, tzset is called in mktime or when putenv('TZ=foo') are
called.  so this works, and putenv'ing TZ isn't thread safe already, but
should the mktime tzset call be taken out?  and maybe some thread safe
method of setting a timezone for a page should be put in?
