?? The timezone string for Sydney/Australia is wrong since even when
daylight saving time is in effect the timezone string is EST.
{UD} The problem for some timezones is that the local authorities decided
to use the term "summer time" instead of "daylight saving time". In this
case the abbreviation character `S' is the same as the standard one. So,
for Sydney we have
Eastern Standard Time = EST
Eastern Summer Time = EST
Great! To get this bug fixed convince the authorities to change the laws
and regulations of the country this effects. glibc behaves correctly.
