>Environment:
FreeBSD with timezone CET
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/CET /etc/localtime
tcl8.0 or tcl8.1 installed
>Description:
FreeBSD set to use TimeZone "CET".
During active daylight-daving-time the name of the timezone
by all date funtions results in "CEST".
I assume this timezone is correct.
If such an date string is parsed by tcl, it will generate
an runtime error.
>How-To-Repeat:
running an application which try to parse a date/time string.
fist recgnized in port: mail/exmh by reading an message
created with daylight-saving-time on.
run the inlcuded example:
# This is a shell archive. Save it in a file, remove anything before
# this line, and then unpack it by entering "sh file". Note, it may
# create directories; files and directories will be owned by you and
# have default permissions.
