+;; This test is disabled because on NetBSD %Z doesn't look at the tm_zone
+;; field in struct tm passed by guile.  That behaviour is reasonable enough
+;; since that field is not in C99 so a C99 program won't know it has to be
+;; set.  For the details on that see

+;;     http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=21722
+;;
+;; Not sure what to do about this in guile, it'd be nice for %Z to look at
+;; tm:zone everywhere.
