public class test
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    System.out.println(java.util.TimeZone.getDefault());
  }
}

java -Duser.timezone=GMT-3600 test

Upon reflection (and some more experiments) the code doesn't seem to
make any sense to me. On the Sun VM, if the abs(offset) is greater than
24 it is interpreted as Hours * 100 + Minutes, instead of the seconds
that Classpath uses.
