Description:
------------
When using strtotime() to parse a date string with a certain timezone offset it returns an incorrect result.

I got this kind of a timezone "Tue, 30 Jan 2007 12:27:00 +0001" from an rss feed. Although they actually mean "+0100" strtotime() should return a time with one minute difference, not 1 month.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
putenv('TZ=Pacific/Auckland');
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s\n",strtotime("Tue, 30 Jan 2007 12:27:00 +0001"));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
2007-01-31 01:26:00

Actual result:
--------------
2007-03-04 13:27:00
