- Date extension
463	     - Setting the timezone with the TZ environment variable is no longer
464	       supported, instead date.timezone and/or date_default_timezone_set()
465	       have to be used.

Newest patch fixes test to work around the new behavior of putenv("TZ=UTC") and includes some more info about this problem.

This patch works on 5.3.11 and 5.4.1 on Windows 7 and Gentoo (both x86 and x64).

Laruence, unixtojd is not part of the date extension, so this is a value bug report. The patch looks good, can you make a pull request against 5.3?

Anatolyi, please apply it when you can :)

For the record, this is a special case of bug #79051.  The
original test failure almost certainly occurred on a ZTS build,
where putenv('TZ=UTC') does not work for the *current* process,
because the internally called tzset() does not see the variable
set via SetEnvironmentVariable().
