Hi,

Exact output (from Firefox) of new Date():
Date Wed Jul 29 2020 03:18:27 GMT+0059 (BST)

output of date (from tcsh) a few minutes later is Wed 29 Jul 2020 03:25:52 BST

output of new Date() from iridium a little while later:
Wed Jul 29 2020 03:35:42 GMT+0100 (British Summer Time)

when both this system and the 13-current vm system was set up, the timezone was
set to Europe/London

I ran tzsetup directly just now, then did the new Date() thing and it's not
making a difference. As far as I can see, I'm not setting TZ from any rc files.
I use tcsh. I'm baffled why the timezone shows as GMT+0059 in firefox yet
GMT+0100 in iridium on the same machine, or why it would show GMT+0059 in a
vanilla firefox on a new 13-current vm on different hardware in a different
geographical location. ntpd runs on both machines, and the time is correct in
each case.

If from tcsh I do:
setenv TZ Europe/London
then firefox &

I'll still get the GMT+0059

it's very odd.
