Thanks for your prompt comments. I did not have tzcode installed. I installed 2007h-1 and I had to use TZ="America/Chicago" and all is well now. I checked dates back to 1974 and they match to a tee.

Checking cygwin packages is as simple as: cygcheck -c tzcode If you don't have 2007h-1, you should probably upgrade. Furthermore, this is unlikely to be a bug in coreutils; if the problem persists after upgrading, then the bug lies in the timezone database or in your environment selecting which portion of the database to use. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
