Re: [PATCH] t/t0006: specify timezone as EST5 not EST to comply with POSIX

POSIX requires that both the timezone "standard" and "offset" be specified
in the TZ environment variable.  This causes a problem on IRIX which does
not understand the timezone 'EST'.

I guess 'EST' is an alias? for EST5EDT?  Linux and Solaris both grok EST
just fine.  POSIX says the offset is required.  I don't see any mention of
aliases.

Same on the Cygwin installation I happen to have here: it doesn't
recongnize EST,
but does know about EST5.
