There are a few time zones, all in australia, that seem to use the
same designation of the time zone for both daylight and standard time.
Is this correct, or is it a bug?

I should also point out that my previous mail was not meant to contain
a complete list bad formats.  I am only looking at the current year
data and also I am deleting the redundant time zones (those that only
differ in prior year data) before I was checking for problems.

Thanks for your help
