The fact that it is _already_ using the new rules is the source of this problem. Rather, it uses the system C library routines to find the dates of the next daylight time transition after the present date. So if the system zoneinfo database has been updated with the changes for the US next year, now that Oct 29th of this year is past, the next savings change that calendar-next-time-zone-transition finds is the one in March 2007. It then assumes that the information for next year applies to all years, hence it gets it wrong for years before 2007 in the US. Hmmm. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
