nntpd.c (minor(?) bug)
- problem in gmtoff (nntpd.c)

 My TZ environment variable is not set on my system (RH 6.0).
"putenv( oldzone )" don't give correct results in this case.

Symptoms:
00:22:24 thor leafnode[1406]: config: debugmode is 1
00:22:24 thor leafnode[1406]: config: server is news.libertysurf.fr

=> 00:22:27 thor leafnode[1406]: before gmtoff.....
=> 22:22:27 thor leafnode[1406]: after gmtoff.....
=> 22:22:33 thor leafnode[1406]: <quit 

The following patch works for me: 
    if ( zone == NULL ) unsetenv( "TZ" );
    else putenv( oldzone );

.. as a replacement for :
    putenv( oldzone );

The return value should also be changed like in version 2.0b8 :
(reported by Stephan Wiens, 29 Oct 2000)
-    return( gmtsec - localsec );
+    return( localsec - gmtsec );

Greetings.
