See my mail in freebsd-stable (followed by another e-mail from Jordan
when he woke up :-) ). Basically, it came out with the following
errors when run earlier today:

===> share/zoneinfo
umask 022; cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo;  zic -d /usr/share/zoneinfo -p America/New_York  -L /dev/null -y /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/obj/yearistype africa antarctica asia australasia etcetera europe  factory northamerica southamerica systemv
"/dev/null", line 1: input line of unknown type 
"/dev/null", line 2: input line of unknown type
"/dev/null", line 3: input line of unknown type
*** Error code 1

Stop.

I can't see any reason for running it with /dev/null as an argument
anyhow, it's probably better not to call it with -L at all unless you
are using the leapseconds facility. So I made the change.

This was holding up 2.1. Hence the quick copy of this onto the 2.1
branch (with Jordan's full knowledge & permission BTW. I was on the
phone to him at the time).
