Probably. 

I commented out the definition of USE_SYS_TIME_H in mpsdef0.h. That
was my first attempt to fix the timezone problem on Solaris and I
forgot to undo it. In the end I deleted all the various timezone code
which depended on various non portable timezone enhancements and
went to what I think is a lowest common denominator solution of
calculation the timezone difference.  I have since backed out the
USE_SYS_TIME_H change (it's defined again) so it should work now. It
works both ways on Solaris.

Could you try the new version. I assume that you are working on Linux?

We desperately need a configuration dependent header file although in
this case making portable code was probably a better solution anyway.

The only thing I am confused by is that your error message refers to
'Timebuffer' but the at code at line 3340 uses 'timebuffer'. Also the
function is xecline, not lline.  I hope that these are typos or there
might be a different problem.
