Possible bug with internet time on servers?

[Richard Gaskin]

Dreamhost is based in Los Angeles, yet when my CGIs hosted there use
"the internet date" the time zone portion is always "+0000", e.g.:

   Wed, 12 Mar 2008 08:42:26 +0000

Is there a valid reason that should be the case, or is this a bug in the
engine in which it's failing to get the appropriate info from the host OS?
