Subject: TimeZone & Daylight saving & OS2

In the OS2 port of pine 3.92, my setting of TZ gets read, but my time is
presented as the non daylight saving time. I have TZ=GMT00BST, and OS2
Pine firmly says GMT, whereas according to the rules it should now be
BST.

Windows port gets this right. I have not checked the PC port recently
but it used to get it right also.

David Nugent, who made the OS2 port, says the problem cannot be in his
port, and points a finger at EMX.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to resolve this?

PS. I have tried putting in the "full glory" version of the TZ
parameter, including the fields that give explicit rules for when to
switch to and from daylight, and it made no difference.
