Subject: 1.5.5.1 posix conformance for strftime()

Hi all,

I found some problem in strftime system call with respect to following
assertion defined in "IEEE std 2003.1 -1992 Test methods for measuring
conformance to POSIX-part1" document:

07(A)	A call to strftime() sets the external variable tzname[0] to point	
	to the standard time-zone designation and
	tzname[1] to point to the summer time-zone designation corresponding to
	the current value of the TZ
	environment variable.


********It doesnt set the values of tzname[0] and tzname[1]. The old
values are retained.

I have gone through the code and found that perhaps code is not written to
set the values of tzname[0] and tzname[1] according to TZ environment
variable. Isnt it?


with thanks and regards,

ghanshyam
