Yes, I have applied this patch:

http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-07:04.zoneinfo.asc

I have also installed this port:

/usr/ports/misc/zoneinfo

Which installs :

tzdata2008a.tar.gz

And I have obviously ran tzsetup, rebooted, but the problem persists.

Thanks for help

The obvious question is:

    Have you updated your system for latest daylight savings changes?
