Fix the source.
In principle, I think this is fairly simple to fix:
- make sure that all $TZ uses which match something under
/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo use the zoneinfo file
- when the file changes, it is reloaded.
The hard part is the second part; we found date conversion to be
performance critical in some applications and adding a stat() to
each conversion would make it too slow.
