More confusion with TZ under Windows

[christophsax]

To make things worse: any idea why useR = TRUE stripes the first three letters? This is with my latest dev:

tz <- "America/Atikokan"
Sys.timezone()
#> [1] "Europe/Berlin"
Sys.setenv("TZ"=tz)
Sys.timezone()
#> [1] "America/Atikokan"
library(anytime)
anytime:::.pkgenv$tz
#> [1] "America/Atikokan"
anytime("2016-09-01 10:11:12", useR = TRUE)
#> Warning in as.POSIXlt.POSIXct(x, tz): unknown timezone 'rica/Atikokan'
#> [1] "2016-09-01 04:11:12 EST"
Sys.timezone()
#> [1] "rica/Atikokan"

Perhaps I should go to sleep...

Perhaps I should go to sleep...

Yes. I usually conclude that when fighting TZ code and system libraries....

And please do not open a new issue every five minutes. Do you mind closing this and keeping what is really the same discussion in #96? Or am I missing something novel?

Thanks!
