East-Saskatchewan. And there are more, but i simply did

Or are you actually going for portable filename limits here. It's a bit late for that, is it. East-Saskatchewan is in ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/backward "Canada/East-Saskatchewan"
which is not a valid name for a zone according to the current Theory file.
Changing the backward entries to conform to the naming rule would do more harm than good! It's been a long time since I used an early Unix system with 14 character filename limits, but IIRC you could open a file using a longer name - it just truncated the name passed in. -- -=( Ian Abbott @ MEV Ltd.
