BASH PATCH REPORT

			     =================

Bash-Release:	4.2

Patch-ID:	bash42-005

Bug-Reported-by:	Dennis Williamson <[email protected]>

Bug-Reference-ID:	<[email protected]>

Bug-Reference-URL:	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2011-02/msg00147.html

Bug-Description:

Systems that use tzset() to set the local timezone require the TZ variable

to be in the environment.  Bash must make sure the environment has been

modified with any updated value for TZ before calling tzset().  This

affects prompt string expansions and the `%T' printf conversion specification

on systems that do not allow bash to supply a replacement for getenv(3).

Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
