Hmm.. your system-wide timezone setting might have problems. what
platform are you using? syslog-ng uses the following function to
calculate the timezone offset:

static size_t
format_tzofs(char *dest, size_t left, struct tm *tm)
{
        size_t length;

#if HAVE_GLOBAL_TIMEZONE
        length = snprintf(dest, left - 1, "%c%02ld%02ld",
                          timezone > 0 ? '-' : '+',
                          (timezone < 0 ? -timezone : timezone) / 3600,
                          (timezone % 3600) / 60);
#else
        length = strftime(dest, left -1, "%z", tm);
#endif
        return length;
}
