When you invoke any of your interix app as a service through Windows Standard Service Interface, it doesnt set TZ variable correctly.
If your PC's TimeZone is GMT+5:30 , it will miss ":30" and pass only 'GMT+5".
so as long as you use your PC's Timezone in multiple of HOUR, you will be fine...
Work around is to unset the TZ variable in your app, then it will pick the system time automatically.

Good catch.
Note to Rodney and IndiaDev:
- Looks like we forgot to remove the TZ initialization in psxrun.exe
when we did the timezone re-org. (e.g when we removed TZ init from posix.exe in SFU3.5)
and decided that TZ is not supposed to be set in the environment by default.
And when we changed TZ to _not_ be in the IST-5:30 format anymore.
It is now supposed to be something like "TZ=Asia/Calcutta".
(like what gettzenv() now returns).
