The dejagnu tests fail on the SGI as TZ is set by init and expected to
be inheritedt by all child processes.

In login.krb5, all environment variables are nuked 
so you get 

FAIL:  date 

problems...

What is needed is to save the TZ environment variable (if set) and reset
it later.

The KRB5_CCACHE variable would be another good one that would elegible
so that forwarded tickets were easilly referenced.
