Comments:
I got (and think I reported) this in 8.1.1, too... but my system's a bit
obscure and possibly misconfigured :p

ReproducibleScript:

ObservedBehavior:
from make test:
# tzset() under MSVC has the following weird observed behavior:
# First time we call "clock format [clock seconds] -format %Z -gmt 1"
# we get "GMT", but on all subsequent calls we get the current time
# zone string, even though env(TZ) is GMT and the variable _timezone
# is 0.

set x {}
append x [clock format 863800000 -format %Z -gmt 1]
append x [clock format 863800000 -format %Z -gmt 1]

---- Result was:
ASTAST
---- Result should have been:
GMTGMT
==== clock-3.4 FAILED

This is likely a misconfigured system, as this is not
reproducible on ours in any way.
