time.strftime BUG?

[Roman Suzi]

Hello,

I have found that on my system (Linux RH6.2+, glibc-2.1.3)
strftime shows me the following:

>>> import time
>>> time.strftime("%Z", time.localtime(time.time()))
'MSD'
>>> time.strftime("%z", time.localtime(time.time()))
'+0000'

While I believe the later should be:
'+0400'

At the same time:

$ date +%z
+0400

which looks reasonable. What is wrong?

Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
