When calling gettimeofday(), the "minuteswest" and "dsttime" components are filled with nonsense. This seems to be because Solaris is having a strange gettimeofday(3) function, the man page says:

     int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tp, void *);

and

     The second argument  to  gettimeofday()  and  settimeofday()
     should be a pointer to NULL.

Now, php's gettimeofday() can't tell about the timezone information.  This happens on Solaris 2.5 and 2.7,
I haven't checked other Solaris versions.

fixed in CVS. The structures are initialized properly before calling gettimeofday() now.
