%  zdump -v US/Pacific | egrep 2007

The regular process works for "US/Pacific" as does the standard Sol zdump 
- its only the POSIX ?STX?DT format that the original Sun zdump won't do 
correctly.  Casper from Sun says this is the way its supposed to be in 
that format is hard coded into some lib and that lib is not being updated 
(yet).  But the "Olson" format ("US/xxxxx") works as does most anything 
that makes zdump go to the zoneinfo file. The POSIX format isn't supposed 
to and won't be fixed (for the pre-10 Sol zdump) until the appropriate 
library is updated.  I don't know what lib that is though.
