This partial output from "zdump -v Asia/Baku" indicates that there is indeed something peculiar happening around 1991 and 1992; does anyone know if the output reflects reality? --ado ...

It's going to be pretty hard to find out what reality was, exactly, but the 1991 glitch is intentional (it reflects Azerbaijan's independence in August 1991). The 1992 glitch is an error. Thanks, Klaus, for reporting it. Here is a patch to that; it assumes the patches I submitted a few days ago. --- asia 2005/01/11 22:18:14 2004.5.0.1 +++ asia 2005/01/14 14:56:07 2004.5.0.2 @@ -107,7 +107,7 @@ Zone Asia/Baku 3:19:24 - LMT 1924 May 2 3:00 - BAKT 1957 Mar # Baku Time 4:00 RussiaAsia BAK%sT 1991 Mar 31 2:00s 3:00 1:00 BAKST 1991 Aug 30 # independence - 3:00 RussiaAsia AZ%sT 1992 Sep lastSun 2:00s + 3:00 RussiaAsia AZ%sT 1992 Sep lastSat 23:00 4:00 - AZT 1996 # Azerbaijan time 4:00 EUAsia AZ%sT 1997 4:00 Azer AZ%sT
