for i in Asia/Taipei America/Chicago America/New_York Europe/Paris
do for j in monday now yesterday today tomorrow 12pm
do echo TZ=\"$i\" $j; done; done|date -f -
gives
date: invalid date `TZ="America/Chicago" now' etc.
ONLY when in America, and ONLY when using now etc.
Monday etc. don't trigger the bug.
By the way, America is undergoing a Daylight Savings Time jump right
about now.
