Is anyone able to tell me where the zoneinfo comes from when constructing a default 
GregorianCalendar() ?

Since last weekend ( when daylight savings began in Australia/Victoria last year for 
the Olympics ) it's been automatically adjusting time to 1 hour later than it is.

When constructing a default GregorianCalendar, it sets timezone to "Australia/Sydney" 
although i'm in Australia/Victoria. My /etc/localtime is linked accordingly. I have 
also set the TZ environment var accordingly but it makes little difference. 
Regardless, Daylight savings does not start in Sydney until next month either, we 
share the same timezone info.

I'm holding back on submitting a bug report to the glibc2 maintainers until i'm sure 
this is not Java specific. ( 'date' still reports the correct time ).

I run Debian/Unstable and upgrade frequently, so can't see last years daylight savings 
info creeping into the zoneinfo stuff in the past few weeks, unless of course it's 
never been changed back. No stale links here either.

Tried both blackdown JDK and IBM JDK ( both 1.3 )

Anyone able to shed some light here?

Cheers,
Grant
