Hi,

I was getting a "java.lang.ArithmeticException: Adding time zone offset
caused overflow" error when installing joda-time 1.6.0 on my Gentoo machine.

After several debugs I finally got to the conclusion that joda-time isn't
compatible with the "right" timezones, ie, compatible with
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo but not with
/usr/share/zoneinfo/right/America/Sao_Paulo for example.

Is this a bug or is it intended?

I hope it's not intended as I'm a regular user of the right timezones ;)

>From tzcode Makefile:

The regular (non-right) timezones are "seconds since the epoch (not counting
leap seconds)".

The right timezones are "seconds since the epoch (counting leap seconds)".


TIA,

Rodrigo
