It actually is not 0, look:

-[GSTimeZone initWithName:data:] (self=0x199d90,
    _cmd=0xfe8bd5a0 <_OBJC_SELECTOR_TABLE+224>, name=0x1036e0,
    data=<optimized out>) at NSTimeZone.m:3119
3119              types[i].offset = decode(ptr->offset);
(gdb) p ptr
$1 = (struct ttinfo *) 0x199d46
(gdb) p ptr->offset
$2 = "\000\000\034 "

cheking the loop information:
(gdb) p n_types
$7 = 6
(gdb) p i
$8 = 0

it means it chokes at the first run through.

I peeked at the data:

(gdb) po  name
Europe/Rome
(gdb) po data
<545a6966 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000006 00000006 00000000 
000000a

But honestly, I don't too have a clue about what the function really 
does and the time zone format. Although

Proved an interesting lecture :)
