Rather than strftime(), it may well be how the system stores the timezone as a string. I don't think the shell can do anything about it.
However, you could consider %z, which returns the hour offset, which ismore useful for calculations.

====================

i'm using it in a prompt <http://smasher.org/zsh/>, so i'm partial towardsthe more intuitive %Z form. in any case, i re-did it so it's only showingthe part after the slash... ie; on some systems it will "EST" and on somesystems it will show "New_York", but it won't show "America/New_York"which just takes up too much space in the prompt.
