In WTF::getLocalTime()[1], localtime_r() is called for platforms using compilers other than MinGW or MSVC to get the necessary time information. This doesn't take the timezone into consideration since tzset() isn't called beforehand and localtime_r() isn't required to call it (like localtime() is)[2].

To avoid that, tzset() should be called, or localtime() should be used instead.
