This is not an issue with the timezone code, this is an issue with the
shmem code. It is clearly not reporting error messages correctly. I'll
see if I can look into this soon and get back to you.

Rodrigo - do you have an environment set up so you can compile the
source code? For testing possible patches...

Well, the report does also expose a timezone problem, which we've seen
reported by other people too: apparently strftime can return non-English
names for timezones.  If we want to stick with the current scheme for
detecting Windows timezone, we may have to use a far larger and uglier
mapping table than we have now :-(.  Any ideas about that?  Is there
a way to temporarily force strftime to speak English?  Or maybe another
API besides strftime?
