      format method of SimpleDateFormat class in case of fr locale,
      when time zone is set as "GMT" returns "TU" instead of "GMT".
      It is not the case if time zone is srt as "GMT+00:00"

      Mentiond below is the program and output too.

       import java.text.*;
       import java.util.*;


       class BugTest {

           public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
               
               DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
               Locale[] loc = df.getAvailableLocales();
               String[] tzones = {"GMT", "GMT+00:00","GMT-00:00", "GMT+02:40"};
               boolean pass = true;

               for(int k=0; k<tzones.length; k++) {

                   for(int i=0; i<loc.length;i++) {
                       Locale.setDefault(loc[i]);
                       TimeZone tz1 = TimeZone.getTimeZone(tzones[k]);
                    // System.out.println(loc[i]);
                       SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("M/d/yyyy z");
                       sdf.setTimeZone(tz1);
                       String datebuf = (sdf.format(new Date(),new StringBuffer(),new FieldPosition(0))).toString();
                   // System.out.println("Formatted-date :"+datebuf);
                   // System.out.println("Time-zone: "+tzones[k]);
                       if(datebuf.indexOf("GMT")==-1) {
                           System.out.println("Test failed for Locale :"+loc[i]);
                           System.out.println("Time-zone: "+tzones[k]);
                           System.out.println("Formatted-date :"+datebuf);
                           pass=false;
                       }
                   }
               }
           
               if(pass) {
                   System.out.println("Test Passed");
                   }
           
           
           
           }


       }
