Re: Posix Lua VM and os timezone update bug

If you carefully read the following discussion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19170721/real-time-awareness-of-timezone-change-in-localtime-vs-localtime-r , you will notice that my bug report is *only POSIX* related. This pary of Lua code is the problem:

** By default, Lua uses gmtime/localtime, except when POSIX is available,

** where it uses gmtime_r/localtime_r

#if defined(LUA_USE_GMTIME_R)

#define l_gmtime(t,r) gmtime_r(t,r)

#define l_localtime(t,r) localtime_r(t,r)

#elif !defined(l_gmtime)

#define l_gmtime(t,r) ((void)r, gmtime(t))

#define l_localtime(t,r) ((void)r, localtime(t))

#endif

This is not a Lua bug: the same thing will happen in a plain C program.
It does not sound polite for a library function in Lua to call tzset:
that should be the prerogatives of the host program.
