Hi,

I just installed cygwin 1.5.24-2 on windows 2003.   To test some
timezone issue,  I set  system time to Nov 2,  2007.    Then if I set
TZ to PST8PDT,  date command reports one hour behind the correct time.
  but if I unset TZ,  date works well.   And it looks like date can
work with PST8PDT correctly in 2006 instead of 2007.

 Where can I find a list which cygwin can recognize ?  When I tried to
set TZ to "America/Los_Angeles",  date simply didn't recognize it and
disply GMT time.

Thanks,
Mike
