 Hi,

 posix_time_zone.hpp checks in line 254 and 255 the base offset between -12
 and 12 hours. In the data file date_time_zonespec.csv are timezones like
 "Pacific/Kiritimati" with offset +14.


 {{{
 253             // base offset must be within range of -12 hours to +12
 hours
 254             if(base_utc_offset_ < time_duration_type(-12,0,0) ||
 255                 base_utc_offset_ > time_duration_type(12,0,0))
 256             {
 257                 throw
 bad_offset(posix_time::to_simple_string(base_utc_offset_));
 258             }

 }}}

 The base offset should within range -14 hours to +14 hours.
