date('Z') is returning -25200 on my system (mountain), even though though the rest of the system believes it is in the pacific time zone (rightfully so).  /bin/date returns "Sun Sep 23 01:09:17 PDT 2001".

configure line: './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/apps/rf_php' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apps/rf_php/lib' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/local/apps/rf_php/bin' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apps/rf_apache/bin/apxs' '--with-imap' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/apps/mysql' '--with-db' '--without-pear'

Umm, never mind.  Never let a programmer like me work in DST this late at night.

No bug -> bogus.

That would be correct.  You can prove this to yourself by typing:  date +%z
at your prompt.  I bet you will see the same number.  ie. -0700
Remember we are on summer time.  See http://GreenwichMeanTime.com/info/timezone-summer.htm
to verify this for yourself.  PDT is GMT-7

uh, woops, shouldn't have spent the 2 minutes to find a URL that explains this.  Lots of people watching bugs these days... ;)
