I'm not sure what would be correct (I'm guessing a non zero for the
time-zone) in which case I get 6.

What is excl::*daylight-savings-time-observed-p* set to? Non-nil? I
think it can be set with the;

(excl:build-lisp-image "yadda.core" :dst t).

I think :dst is set to non-nil by default so maybe you should try
dropping a new core? You should try some other options, there's a
bunch of them (much better than a shell script).

Dunno, have you tried tpl:setq-default, I don't think that will work
though.
