Description

(From an email on the jruby list)

14:04:08 ~>ruby -e 'p Time.now'
Sat May 30 14:04:13 -0400 2009

14:04:13 ~>jruby -e 'p Time.now'
Sat May 30 18:04:18 UTC 2009

I'm in the US Eastern time zone, so the following especially seems wrong to me.

14:04:18 ~>jruby -e 'p Time.now.getlocal.gmt?'
true

14:08:03 ~>jruby -e 'p Time.now.getlocal'
Sat May 30 18:08:08 UTC 2009

14:09:49 ~>jruby -e 'p Time.now.localtime'
Sat May 30 18:10:10 UTC 2009

Duplicate of JRUBY-2541.

As a workaround, setting the "TZ" variable explicitly gets around it.
