You'll have to ask Congress. The U.S. daylight-saving rules were changed by H.R. 6, Energy Policy Act of 2005, Section 110. Evidently one of your hosts has old tables, and you need to upgrade them to the rules that were put in place in the tz database release 2005l, dated 2005-08-22. While you're at it, I suggest updating to the current tz version (2014b).
