My timezone is set to UTC:

[omusil24]

I fixed the FixedLengthUtil tests but I'd say that the date.qtest problem is a bug. @davidnich What's your opinion?

[davidnich]

@omusil24 I'll check it in a little bit- working on another fix now

david@quasar:~/src/qore/git/qore/examples/test/qore/vars$ TZ=UTC qore -ne 'TimeZone tz("America/Chicago"); printf("%y\n", tz.date("1980-07-01", "YYYY-MM-DD").info());'
