+
+This introduced a bug unfortunately due to the side effects of
+parse_datetime().
+parse_datetime resets the TZ env variable but doesn't call tzset().
+Hence using the wrong timezone for output.
+Previously localtime() called tzset() implicitly.
+Perhaps we should call tzset() in parse_datetime() if needed?
+I'm not sure as to whether this undoes the fix for bug 23035?
+
+Anyway this avoids the issue on GNU/Linux.
