Is the timezone set when Squid starts? Try starting it manually from the
command line.

And if you hacked the sources (which is not neccesary), are you 100%
sure you run a binary with your change in it? It is very easy to see if
you managed to get your Squid to use %t instead of %T. The look of the
dates are very different.

%T: Thu, 08 Apr 1999 03:27:17 GMT
%t: 08/Apr/1999:05:27:17 +0200

The reason to this is that %T uses rfc1123 date format while %t uses
common log format date which defaults to local time.

It is left as an exercise to the interested to change %t into something
more human readable. (another date formatting routine is needed).
