I think this is because PHT isn't a valid time zone name (at least from
the point of view of GNATS, I don't know whether time zone names are
standardized anywhere).
No standard seems to exist. Many UNIX flavours understand a great range of
abbreviations, but the most exhaustive list I managed to find was from the
documentation for the Perl date manipulation module at
http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~sbeck/DateManip.html#TIMEZONES
The missing ones from this list should probably be added to Gnats.
The included patch adds the missing time zones from the web page mentioned
above. I am fairly certain that the list in Gnats should be complete after
applying this patch. It is against v3.113.
Milan: This patch should be almost directly applicable to getdate.c in
Gnats 4 HEAD as well.
