nope. the timezone is correct. i think the output of
tzdump is confusing. for us eastern, here's an example
; for(i in 4 5)date `{echo '1081044000 + 3600*'$i|hoc}
Sun Apr 4 01:00:00 EST 2004
Sun Apr 4 03:00:00 EDT 2004
and for newfoundland
; ifs=() timezone=`{cat tz/Canada_Newfoundland}for(i in 3 4)date `{echo
'1081044000 + 3600*'$i|hoc}
Sun Apr 4 01:30:00 NST 2004
Sun Apr 4 03:30:00 NDT 2004
the reason for the confusion, is that the localtime
applies the offset before applying the dstpairs.
(/sys/src/libc/port/ctime.c) i belive i tripped on this
when i did the work for the us zones.
if there's a bug, it's in tzdump.
