POSIX requires that both the timezone "standard" and "offset" be specified in the TZ environment variable. This causes a problem on IRIX which does not understand the timezone 'EST'.

I guess 'EST' is an alias? for EST5EDT? Linux and Solaris both grok EST just fine. POSIX says the offset is required. I don't see any mention of aliases.
