Yes, I left that old format there intentionally to be in local time
just to catch regression of that timezone handling.

But, if only the old format time test fails - and the time read-write
invariant works - it's not so bad. The timestamp generated after my
patch (rev 2012) are not in local time anymore - and apparently apr
seems to work fine for timestamps that are not in local time.

So, it hasn't affected us for a while now (except for possible user
display in some places) - and the old timestamps are already broken -
so nothing else breaks if that is fixed.

...

Perhaps there should be a troubleshooting guide which would list
possible places to look when a regression test fails?

time-test, #1) APR is borked again.

time-test, #2) APR is borked again.
