I've made the change to tzset.c. If TZ is not set some more thorough tests are
performed. The additional change to tzfile.c I added prevents most of the work
in case the file has not changed.
As for any code which doesn't call tzset all the time: this definitly won't
change. It's far too expensive. And for what? The 0.000001% of the people who
take the laptops on a world tour and expect, e.g., syslog messages with dates
according to the native timezone. This is not justification enough. Just
restart your machine.
