All:
Please find attached a patch to fix the timestring and http_timestring
tests on hosts that have a negative UTC offset (west of the Prime Meridian).
Sincerely,

Subject: [PATCH] util:tests: Correct time tests for negative UTC offsets.
The timestring and http_timestring tests were failing on hosts with negative
offsets from UTC. Due to the timezone offset, the returned values were back in
the year 1969 (before the epoch) and did not match the test patterns.
The correction computes the offset from UTC, and if it is negative that offset
is added onto the value given to the timestring() and http_timestring() calls so
that the returned values fall on 01-Jan-1970 and match the test pattern.
