Comment:

 This problem affects torbirdy but is not limited to it.

 on Fedora 20's shell (where things work):
 -⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠
 $ date
 <local timestamp>

 $ TZ=UTC date
 <*UTC* timestamp>



 on Fedora 21's shell:
 -⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠-⁠
 $ date
 <local timestamp>

 $ TZ=UTC date
 <*local* timestamp>


 so TZ gets ignored completely.


 So there is probably nothing that torbirdy can change.
