It seems tzset() is never called.  Without that, the environment  
variable TZ is never processed.  I put it in cvs_commit::cvs_commit 
(rcs_file const & r, string const & rcs_version, file_id const &  
ident, cvs_history & cvs) just to test it, and it behaves correctly.

Since we don't want to actually do that every single time cvs_commit 
(...) is called, where would be a good place to call tzset()?

Thanks,
