OK, I hit Return way to fast ;-)

So Locale>>#primTimezone always returns 0 on Squeak 5.8b12 on Mac OS X,  
while it works OK on Cog r2316. This results in things like TimeStamp now  
always having a zero offset and TimeStamp now asUTC not making a difference.

Perhaps primTimezone should fail the method when it does not find the  
locale primitive.
The 5.8b12 beta test VM did not ship with the new Locale plugin. Or any  
plugins..
