Running an MS Windows application from within cygwin fails because it believes the timezone is wrong.  Running from the Windows GUI and from DOS is fine.  This is a huge problem for my company as we need to be able to launch this tool from a perl script under cygwin and cannot.

I read: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-08/msg00041.html

which says the problem has been fixed.  When is this fix going to be applied?  How can I work around it in the meantime?

Thanks,
