timeofday()::timestamp - not casting

It works for me. Where in the world is cygwin getting "GMTST" from ---
surely that's not a real timezone name?

Just rechecked & 7.2.3 doesn't work on my machine (win9x - I'd been lazy and
just connected to a server to check 7.2 which is NT4).
Hmmm... maybe GMT daylight Saving Time? Oh well will try and investigate to
see if anything is wrong, or if this is a win9x peculiarity (strongly
suspected).
Thanks,
