I think the problem is the timezone file itself (tested on RH 5.2):

> setenv TZ US/Eastern
> ./foo
tzname 0: EST
tzname 1: EDT
> setenv TZ US/Central
> ./foo
tzname 0: EST
tzname 1: CDT
> setenv TZ US/Pacific
> ./foo
tzname 0: PST
tzname 1: PDT

foo.c:
----------------------------
#include <time.h>

main(){
tzset();
printf("tzname 0: %s\n",tzname[0]);
printf("tzname 1: %s\n",tzname[1]);
}
----------------------------

... looks like someone was copying files around and forgot to update a byte.
