Summary: wrong time on german windows with date.exe + ls.exe

Initial Comment:
Hi All,
on my german windows 2000 professional (5.00.2195) the msys binaries date.exe + ls.exe + ...
   ( from MSYS-1.0.10.exe,  sha1sum =>
     510fcfa923833073bc55302913739e25b909e66a )
print always the UTC time instead of the local time.
If I set the TZ environment variable to UTC-2 both binaries working well.
With a english windows 2000 professional both binaries date.exe and ls.exe works perfect without TZ setting.
What's the problem?
Mario.

Since you have a method to get the correct time I'm not going to spend
time with this but feel free to chase it down and supply a patch.  Setting
TZ is the common solution for this problem.
