Hi Markku-
I think yours is the rare case.  Setting the TZ environment variable IS the
correct fix for most people.  As always be careful and make backups when
making system changes..

As far as I know the "correct" TZ settings are:
PST8PDT,MST7MDT,CST6CDT,EST5EDT		america
WET,MET,EET				europe

Things like US/Pacific or GB/Eire don't seem to work.  I haven't heard of
any timezone problems from asia.
First try the settings above.  If that doesn't work try the perl fix I sent
to the announce alias a couple weeks ago (upgrade Time/Local.pm).
