When diagnosing a problem for a guy in the german channel (with Stefan as mediator :P), we've found a case where the timezone information in the registry seem to be empty for some timezones. The current timezone matching code will abort scanning when it comes across one of these, thus claiming it can't match the timezone, and reverting to GMT.
We've seen some reports prevously that looked like this, but never really managed to get it diagnosed. Having checked the registry on this machine, it appears to simply be that "Std" and "Dlt" are missing from some entries. The attach patch changes our scan to skip to the next timezone when this happens, instead of aborting. The only downtime I can see from this is that in case there are a *lot* of broken timezones (like "all of them"), well log a lot of warnings. But it will only happen on server startup, so I think it's ok. Comments? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
