** instants after the last transition time stored in the file
** (with nothing between the newlines if there is no POSIX representation for
** such instants).
**
** If tz_version is '3' or greater, the above is extended as follows.
** First, the POSIX TZ string's hour offset may range from -167
** through 167 as compared to the POSIX-required 0 through 24.
** Second, its DST start time may be January 1 at 00:00 and its stop
** time December 31 at 24:00 plus the difference between DST and
** standard time, indicating DST all year.
