autarch at houseabsolute:~/DateTime/modules/DateTime-TimeZone$ zdump -v Asia/Aqtau | grep 2038

Asia/Aqtau  Mon Jan 18 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Mon Jan 18 07:14:07 2038 AQTT isdst=0 gmtoff=14400
Asia/Aqtau  Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Tue Jan 19 07:14:07 2038 AQTT isdst=0 gmtoff=14400

Surely that's not right ;)  I'd suggest that it's better to simply not
output anything rather than output bad data.  Obviously this is related to
the 32-bit-ness of time_t, and is probably really a zic problem.
