#538 default timezone does not use UTC0 when timezone=0 and daylight=0,

[nikhilgupta10]

There should be a check to see if timezone=0 and daylight=0 and if so, the guess should be /UTC0. When this happens, the value of _tzname on Macs is \WILDABBR\, which makes no sense but there it is. Why tzname isn't set on Macs is another problem that needs to be looked at.

The code should look like this (after including the fix from ticket:537):

                lock(&tzlock);
                if (_timezone % 60 == 0){
                        sprintf(guess, \%s%d%s\, _tzname[0], (int)(_timezone / 3600), _daylight?_tzname[1]:\);
                } else {
                        sprintf(guess, \%s%d:%d%s\, _tzname[0], (int)(_timezone / 3600), (int)(_timezone / 60), _daylight?_tzname[1]:\);
                }
                if (_timezone==0 && _daylight==0)
                        tz_name=/UTC0\;
                else
                        tz_name = guess;
                unlock(&tzlock);

Also not that the unlock call must come after the tz_name set.
