Hmm, just noticed this one. Looking at the Australia/Adelaide daylight
savings time rules :

# Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]

9:30 AS CST
And the output of 'date' :
Tue 4 Mar 17:51:58 CST 1997
Something is busted. Of course, this had to be beaten into my by the
local ticker freak who couldn't understand what was going on, and why
all his lovely NTP-synced machines were a whole hour out. 8(
Anyone? It would be Bad for 2.2 to go out like this. 8(
