Hmm, just noticed this one. Looking at the Australia/Adelaide daylight savings time rules : # South Australia # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER Rule AS 1971 1985 - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AS 1986 only - Oct 19 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AS 1987 max - Oct lastSun 2:00s 1:00 - Rule AS 1972 only - Feb 27 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1973 1985 - Mar Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1986 1989 - Mar Sun>=15 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1990 1994 even Mar Sun>=18 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1990 1994 odd Mar Sun>=1 2:00s 0 - Rule AS 1995 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 - # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Australia/Adelaide 9:14:20 - LMT 1895 Feb 9:00 - CST 1899 May 9:30 - CST 1917 Jan 1 0:01 9:30 Aus CST 1971 Oct lastSun 2:00s 9:30 AS CST And the output of 'date' : Tue 4 Mar 17:51:58 CST 1997 Something is busted.
