214 :: times.format() error

  Team,

  The following program demonstrates an error in the behaviour of proc times.format.

  import times
  
  let t = times.getLocalTime(times.getTime())
  echo($t & " " & times.format(t, "ZZZ"))
  echo(times.format(t, "zzz"))
  Run

  The output is:

  Fri Aug 30 22:24:51 2013 IST
  -05:00

  As you can see from the first line of the output, though, I live in India, which is 'GMT +05:30'. Yet, the second line shows me to be somewhere in the American continent!! Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? Thanks.

  It's quite possible that it's simply buggy as I never comprehensively tested it.

  Would be nice if you could figure out the problem, fix it and create a pull request :)
