     /*
      * Believe it or not, calling tzset() at startup seems to get rid of
      * a scheduler-related Heisenbug on alpha-dec-osf3.  The symptom of
      * the bug is that, when the load on the machine is high or when
      * there are many threads, the variable "Capability *cap" in the
      * function "schedule" in the file "Schedule.c" magically becomes
      * null before the line "t = cap->rCurrentTSO;".  Why, and why does
      * calling tzset() here seem to fix it?  Excellent questions!
