 On OS X (at least), struct tm contains the tm_zone field:

 {{{
 char    *tm_zone;       /* timezone abbreviation */
 }}}

 Since it's uninitialized, strftime() can crash when it tries to use it.

 I'm not sure what the correct fix is -- I worked around it by getting a tm
 from localtime() and copying its tm_zone field.

 I'm using 1.33.1, but it doesn't appear to have changed on the trunk in a
 way that would fix the problem.
