[fpc-pascal] Wrong Time from Now() or Time() => [SOLVED]

[Alexander Bauer]

I found the problem for the the wrong time.
I checked /etc/localtime and this was ok, but there was also a file 
/etc/timezone with a wrong entry !

fpc seems to first checks the /etc/timezone and then /etc/localtime

Kylix, and also all other programs i've tested do it in the different order!

br,
Alex
