Uh oh. Why on earth is the string returned by your machine in lower case?!? The default Windowes timezone name is "India Standard Time" with upper case S and T. The tzset application checks the value returned by the OS case-sensitive, so, yes, it just doesn't recognize the string and fails to set the matching POSIX timezone. Crazy but true: After all this time it's the first report that tzset fails because some Windows system returns timezones in different case. I'm going to fix the tzset tool to use case-insensitve string checks. I'm also going to upload a new Cygwin test release, 2.1.0-0.5, which will contain the fixed tzset tool. I'll announce it later today. Please give it a try. Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
