This makes it look like immediately after set_time_zone_rule ("XXX-0:00:00") was 
called, getenv ("TZ") returned NULL.  That shouldn't happen: set_time_zone_rule 
is supposed to arrange for TZ to have the specified value.

Could you please try similar tests with the attached patch instead?  It should 
tell us whether set_time_zone_rule is properly affecting the TZ environment 
variable.
