offtopic: timeconfig on Redhat 5.0

When I run time config a specify that the CMOS time
is GMT and I am in US/East-Indiana zone.

When I type "date" at command prompt I get
Jan 13 07:46 am EST 1998

When I call gmttime() function I get 12:46 pm
When I call localtime() function I get 12:46 pm

What is up with this? What have I misconfigured?
I would expect (as on my old slackware system)
that gmttime be 12:46 pm and local time be 7:46.

Please CC me directly.
