Torsten, can you please try the patch that Neal pointed out?  We 
are approaching the release of Python 2.3 (by the end of the 
month) and it would be nice if this bug was settled before it goes 
out.

If you are referring to bug #763047 and its cohort #763052, then 
no, I don't think so.  Those I think were an actual bug in the code.  
But there *is* a possibility since _strptime does call time.tzset 
when it calculates what timezones it knows about.

I am unassigning from myself since I have never touched 
time.tzset (don't remember who wrote time.tzset off the top of my 
head but it is a Python 2.3 feature).

Brett, is this related to the other failures?

What OS are you using?  Redhat 6.2, perhaps?  Can you test
patch 762934?  http://python.org/sf/762934
