Suggest you compare with the original code at
<ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/> and bring up any unresolved issues on
the tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov list.  While the two codebases have evolved
in somewhat different directions, the basic implementation should
still be the same (and ours is probably wrong to the extent that it
isn't).
