     IIRC (which is sometimes up for grabs) this is because OS/2
ignores anything after the offset in the 'TZ' environment setting.  It
doesn't consider the longer string in error, but it doesn't do anything
with it either.  If you look at the 'TZ' variable in the online help
you'll also notice that only the offset is mentioned.
