[bug #30026] Unknown time zone name `PST'

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #30026 (project gnustep):

The problem is that PST is not a valid timezone name (it's an abbreviation)
... so you shouldn't really be able to set it as your timezone name, and you
arguably have an operating system bug.  Timezone handling is so non-standard
in general that it's probably pointless to make that argument though. 

However, I've made the obvious hack/workaround ... changing the code to
accept abbreviations.  The problem with that is that those don't necessarily
uniquely identify timezones.
