I was recently showing off ... and I entered the following command $ date && TZ=Asia/Moscow date Tue Jun 19 15:48:14 EDT 2012 Tue Jun 19 19:48:14 Asia 2012 My initial reaction, besides some embarrassment at getting the continent wrong (and most of Russia's timezone are in Asia), is that this is a bug in the coreutils date command. However, I thought it would be of interest to members of the list. It's a double bug. It's printing out a non-existent timezone, and it's using GMT for "Asia" -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0
