/* For reference, note that current-time and gettimeofday both should be
protected against setzone/restorezone changes in another thread, since on
DOS the system time is normally kept as local time, which means TZ
affects the return from current-time and gettimeofday. Not sure if DJGPP
etc actually has concurrent multi-threading, but it seems prudent not to
make assumptions about this. */
