I never change my location, so had not seen it, but I doubt it would have helped, in any case. The cause was r196683 which updated zic and changed the format of the zonefiles. I missed the note in UPDATING that I need to run tzsetup to install the new zonefile. Thanks again! -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
