The current Bangladesh time zone description is unusual in that it ends with being continuously in DST. This uncovered a bug in zic, which infers a POSIX TZ string of BDST-6 from the rule. This is wrong since a time zone that is continuously in DST cannot be expressed by POSIX rules, so zic should not try to generate such a string.
