>Description:

strptime fails to convert %z

>How-To-Repeat:

ice:~>date -j -f '%d/%b/%Y:%T %z' '19/Feb/2004:12:23:05 +0200' '+%T %z'
Warning: Ignoring 5 extraneous characters in date string (+0200)
12:23:05 +0100

As we can see, it ignores %z completely, and the returned time has
the local timezone (+0100, CET) instead of the correct one (+0200).
