I didn't check but most probably he added the localtime(&when) call in 
get_local_timezone_ofs() to extract the seconds you are away from UTC, 
including DST handling. Unfortunately I do not understand enough of 
timezone handling to be much of a help here. Time is too a difficult 
subject for me to understand, so I'm glad it works most of the time :).

Hmm, the "correct" file I see has shown up in Solaris 10 ;) with the libbc:

http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/lib/libbc/inc/include/time.h

Tomorrow I'll have access again to a Solaris 8 machine where I could try 
compiling the source. Bazsi seems to be very busy these days, so we just 
have to wait for a bit ...
