Well, the report does also expose a timezone problem, which we've seen
reported by other people too: apparently strftime can return non-English
names for timezones.  If we want to stick with the current scheme for
detecting Windows timezone, we may have to use a far larger and uglier
mapping table than we have now :-(.  Any ideas about that?  Is there
a way to temporarily force strftime to speak English?  Or maybe another
API besides strftime?
