For all the Indiana counties that are switching from ET to CT, shouldn't this be:
+ -5:00 - EST 2006 Apr 2 2:00 + -5:00 - CDT 2006 Apr 2 3:00 + -6:00 US C%sT
so that the time will proceed smoothly from 1:59:59 AM EST to 2:00:00 AM CDT, as proposed by Paul Eggert?
But my proposed rules do that. "zdump -v America/Indiana/Knox" outputs this for me: ... America/Indiana/Knox Sun Apr 2 06:59:59 2006 UTC = Sun Apr 2 01:59:59 2006 EST isdst=0 America/Indiana/Knox Sun Apr 2 07:00:00 2006 UTC = Sun Apr 2 02:00:00 2006 CDT isdst=1 ... Are you getting different output from zdump? I vaguely recall that zic used to have problems in this area. Perhaps your zic is old and has the bug? If so, I suppose we should alter the data files to work around those old zic bugs. I'll send email to Judith Kaleta of the DOT about the screwup in their regulations, and CC: to this list.
