Jordan Krushen pointed out that the patch is actually opened against RH 
6.2, not 6.1 like I originally said.  But I don't think it is that big 
of an issue since there is a bug report for this against SuSE.  I think 
the key thing here is an older version of glibc since that would be what 
defines the tzset function.

But I will consider sending a note out to c.l.py about this.  Thanks for 
the suggestion, Skip.
