Ops, fixed.

Also, I've found a better place for the test in Lib/test/test_strptime.py
and moved it to the test_strptime.CacheTests.

When I applied the patch, test_bad_timezone test failed because of
this code in Lib/_strptime.py:

    @staticmethod
    def _get_timezone():
        try:
            time.tzset()
        except AttributeError:
            pass
        # ...

time.tzset() always resets time.tzname[1], so this part of the code
in test_bad_timezone[2] didn't work.

    tzname = time.tzname[0]
    time.tzname = (tzname, tzname)

I've fixed test_bad_timezone test by mocking the new
_strptime._TimeRE_cache.locale_time._get_timezone method.
