For what it is worth,
I have managed to find another timezone bug reproducer: with an
installed perl 5.8.1 on EST (TDF "if I try to build either Date::Manip
5.42a from CPAN then the t/events.t test fails tests # 1, # 3, and
# 6. If I define SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL (in my LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
to be "-14400" and run that test I see only a failure of unit test 1.
