whereas under linux emulation linux-sun-jdk1.4.2 seems to acknowledge it.

E.g

[root@smadev bin]# uname -a

[root@smadev bin]# java -classpath "." foo
 Tue Jun 29 15:17:37 GMT 2004
sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="GMT",offset=0,dstSavings=0,useDaylight=false,transitions=0,lastRule=null]

[root@smadev bin]# /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/bin/java -classpath "." 
foo
Tue Jun 29 18:18:09 EEST 2004
sun.util.calendar.ZoneInfo[id="Europe/Athens",offset=7200000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,transitions=138,lastRule=java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Athens,offset=7200000,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=true,startYear=0,startMode=2,startMonth=2,startDay=-1,startDayOfWeek=1,startTime=3600000,startTimeMode=2,endMode=2,endMonth=9,endDay=-1,endDayOfWeek=1,endTime=3600000,endTimeMode=2]]

[root@smadev bin]# cat foo.java
