11665	UTC Time Zone Set in wp-settings affects items in header	iacas		"The wp-settings.php file in WordPress 2.9 sets time zone to UTC, which is then not set to the user-specified time zone (via the wp-admin settings) until just after get_header().

This causes problems for items which use the date and/or time in the header file, as my random header rotator does:

I think that if wp-settings is going to continue to set the time zone to UTC by default (around line 21), then the proper, user-specified time zone should be set earlier than ""at the end of get_header()""."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	3.0	Date/Time	2.9	normal	fixed	has-patch needs-testing
