I got an impression that the parsing of daylight savings rules from TZ
environment variable is off by one day. The manual on tzset() states that
the M notation for rules assumes 0 for Sunday. The actual transtime() in
localtime.c I believe assumes 0 for Saturday. Can someone please verify
that. I checked 2.2.8 and 3.3 sources.
The reason why this was not noticed before, I believe, is because most
installations do not use TZ variable and those which do, have this bug
manifest itself just twice per year on weekends.
