Thanks for that correction. I applied the attached patches to the experimental version of the tz database, and they should appear in the next release. The fix for Finland in 1942 is in the 4th attached patch. Your contribution prompted me to finish an item in my todo list, namely to allow commentary containing non-ASCII characters in the data, such as the "ö" in your name. This feature has been requested multiple times and your contribution was the last straw. The first three of the attached patches implement the support for UTF-8 characters. I've attempted to correct existing commentary that had accents stripped as part of ASCIIfication. No doubt I've missed some fixes; further corrections are welcome.
