Date: Mon, 25 Sep 1995 13:30:31 -0700 From: alanp@jurassic@Sun.COM (Alan Perry) one of our customers just submitted a bug against the current Canada/Central (aka America/Winnepeg) entry complaining that it switches back to Standard Time one week too early. The current entry for Canada/Central says that it should switch on the last Sunday in September, which would have been yesterday, the 24th. Who is right? Our customer or the current zoneinfo source? Presumably your customer is right. I tried to find out the time in Winnipeg by telnetting to the time port of various hosts, and found massive confusion (which is what would be expected). However, well-known servers like canopus.cc.umanitoba.ca seemed to be using DST, which indicates that the tz tables are wrong. Could you check with your customer about the ``one week too early'' part? That is, has Manitoba changed to switch the first Sunday in October rather than the last Sunday in September? That would be odd, since if Manitoba changed at all, I would have expected it to change to conform to the rest of Canada, which uses the last Sunday in October if it uses DST at all.
