I thought as much.  I'm currently cobbling together a perl script to check all 
the america/* records from the csv file against the system zoneinfo files & 
updating the records accordingly.  I'll post a copy when I'm done for you to 
check.  

OTOH, if anyone can think of a better way to figure out which zone records 
need updating, I'd be glad to hear it. FWIW, I'm in Australia and not really 
familiar with the US timezones (which is why I decided to use the zoneinfo 
files as the 'authoritative' source), but our application needs to be aware 
of the DST change.

Cheers,

- Brendon.
