  36   /* Rectify the value of the environment variable TZ.
  37      There are four possible kinds of such values:
  38        - Traditional US time zone names, e.g. "PST8PDT".  Syntax: see
  39          <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/tzset>
  40        - Time zone names based on geography, that contain one or more
  41          slashes, e.g. "Europe/Moscow".
  42        - Time zone names based on geography, without slashes, e.g.
  43          "Singapore".
  44        - Time zone names that contain explicit DST rules.  Syntax: see
  45          <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_03>
  46      The Microsoft CRT understands only the first kind.  It produces incorrect
  47      results if the value of TZ is of the other kinds.
  48      But in a Cygwin environment, /etc/profile.d/tzset.sh sets TZ to a value
  49      of the second kind for most geographies, or of the first kind in a few
  50      other geographies.  If it is of the second kind, neutralize it.  For the
  51      Microsoft CRT, an absent or empty TZ means the time zone that the user
  52      has set in the Windows Control Panel.
  53      If the value of TZ is of the third or fourth kind -- Cygwin programs
  54      understand these syntaxes as well --, it does not matter whether we
  55      neutralize it or not, since these values occur only when a Cygwin user
  56      has set TZ explicitly; this case is 1. rare and 2. under the user's
  57      responsibility.  */

  63          for the environment variable "TZ", and thus other threads that are
