Cygwin1.dll bug in ftime


Today I found this bug when running my synctime program. It always displays
the wrong timezone and thus cannot synchronize correctly. A little
investigation shows that it is ftime in cygwin1.dll that caused the problem.
This is the minimal test case:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/timeb.h>

int main()
{
    struct timeb timebuffer;
    ftime(&timebuffer);
    printf("%d\n", timebuffer.timezone);
    return 0;
}

I am in China and this program should output -480, but with either
cygwin1.dll version 1.3.10 or 1.3.9 it outputs a strange number. :-(

I tried an early version dll (1003.3.0.0), and all is OK. But other parts of
Cygwin seems to require a newer version. I do hope a fix very soon.

Oh yes, I am running Chinese Windows 2000. I wish it was not a
platform-specific problem.

Best regards,

Wu Yongwei
