We had some very strange problems when we set TIMEZONE. When instead setting EPICS_TIMEZONE, which the IOC startup code then copies to TIMEZONE, all was fine. But when setting TIMEZONE before iocInit, the osiTime code that tries to determine the correct offset from 1970 to 1990 broke, because some of the vxWorks routines ignore the 'dst' flags. In older EPICS releases, that timezone offset was a constant, but newer releases try to determine it by converting back and forth between local and GMT/UTZ, and that failed for us when TIMEZONE was set. Anyway, maybe just try defining EPICS_TIMEZONE, don't set TIMEZONE yourself, and see if that's better. -Kay
