Yes, it looks like the timezone file
(/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo) is broken/corrupt:

/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{127}# tzsetup Sao_Paulo
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{128}# date
Sun 24 Sep 2000 21:01:45 BRT
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{129}# /usr/mark/time
t = -1
Wed Dec 31 20:59:59 1969
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{130}# tzsetup ../GMT
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{131}# date
Mon 25 Sep 2000 00:05:20 GMT
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{132}# /usr/mark/time
t = 970358460
Sun Oct  1 00:01:00 2000
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{133}#
