While testing my iCalendar timezone code against mktime/localtime I think I found a tiny error.
Thanks for the bug report. I have verified that it is an error, apparently in zic.c.
In case you're interested, I've now tested our code pretty thoroughly against tzcode2001a (in RedHat Linux 7.1), and that was the only error I found. The test program stepped from 1970 to 2037 every 15 minutes, and converted the UTC time to local time and back, comparing the local times against mktime(). It did this for all the timezones that used city names, e.g. 'Europe/London' - we don't use stuff like 'Etc/GMT-1'. Damon
