(/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo) is broken/corrupt:
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{127}# tzsetup Sao_Paulo

Sun 24 Sep 2000 21:01:45 BRT
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{129}# /usr/mark/time
t = -1
Wed Dec 31 20:59:59 1969
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{130}# tzsetup ../GMT
/usr/share/zoneinfo/America{131}# date
