Package: shellutils Version: 1.12-5 When the timezone information is incorrectly set (for example after having set it with tzconfig which incorrectly has a RULES=posix line), saying % date +%Z locks the program (the disks starts making much noise but the program has to be killed); what is strange is that % date '+%M %Z' gives a correct result (i.e. with an empty zone field). This is using the unstable 1.1 distribution, installed from scratch. YA.
