This is Linux 2.6 with glibc 2.3.3. My timezone is "America/Santiago"
(or "Chile/Continental" which is the same). The timezone is set via
/etc/localtime having the content of the timezone file (not as a symlink
as it used to be some time ago). The TZ variable isn't set.

Right, I know because I tried to use it with 7.4 some time ago. This
part was more a feature request than a bug report.
