strftime() on Mac seems to ignore timezone arguments in struct tm for some reason and uses environment TZ instead. Not sure how to address that.

Looking into Mac strftime sources, it says this: ** C99 says that the UTC offset must ** be computed by looking only at ** tm_isdst.

Which means, since we can't touch the environment in php_date.c code, we have to set TZ env variable for the test to pass, and strftime for Mac is dependent on TZ env and we can't do a thing about it as it seems. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227
