Yes I see that.

I wonder if the TZ is not causing the problem. In the time zone
calculations we use calls like localtime() that do look at the TZ
variable. 
If the Win API time functions like GetTimeZoneInformation and the
*ToLocalTime* functions do not look at TZ then there is a real problem.
Msdn doesn't mention it (except for the Unix like functions in the
compiler run-time lib's).
Did you happen to look at that?

I think it helps because with your change, bias is always zero. TZ does
not influence anything anymore.
