New issue 2137 by [email protected]: Timezone computations is wrong for
Lord Howe Island
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2137
The daylights saving time for Lord Howe Island is "Lord Howe Daylight Time"
which is only off by 30 minutes. V8 assumes that all daylight savings
offsets are one hour.
Note that Lord Howe Island is on the southern hemisphere and that summer
time is hence in the winter.
$ rlwrap v8

The latter date (2012, 0, 12) should be in GMT+1100. The "LHST" should
probably also change to "LHDT", but Firefox doesn't do that either.
