Hmmm... (FreeBSD-2.2.1)

$ date
Mi 29 Okt 1997 23:17:11 CET
$ env TZ=Europe/Berlin date
Mi 29 Okt 1997 23:17:24 CET
$ env TZ=Europe/Germany date
Mi 29 Okt 1997 22:17:37 GMT
$ env TZ=Europe/fiehjrfehgiuhgwr date
Mi 29 Okt 1997 22:17:48 GMT

seems that invalid zoneinfo setting automatically falls back to GMT.
