Summary: time.strftime with "%z" incorrect

Initial Comment:
Linux 2.2, glibc 2.1.3, Python 2.1

>>> import time
>>> time.strftime("%Z", time.localtime(time.time()))
'MSD'
>>> time.strftime("%z", time.localtime(time.time()))
'+0000'

While I believe the later should be:
'+0400'

At the same time:

$ date +%z
+0400
