Found this when looking at the timezone issue a couple of weeks back and
then forgot about it:

This setenv() + localtime() looks like a hack to me and I don't really
understand why it should be preferable over using gmtime() directly. The
only change in output that I can see is that it causes %Z to print GMT
instead of UTC, so I modified the format string accordingly (but I have
no strong opinion on this).
