PS: on second thought, could it be that the lines for 1942 are generally 
in error:

Rule    Chile   1942    only    -       Jun      1      4:00u   0       -
Rule    Chile   1942    only    -       Aug      1      5:00u   1:00    S
Rule    Chile   1946    only    -       Jul     15      4:00u   1:00    S
Rule    Chile   1946    only    -       Sep      1      3:00u   0:00    -

They make no sense, because according to this,
- Jun 1942 line is superfluous
- Aug 1942 sets DST in force until next cancellation of DST in Sep 1946,
- JUL 1946 line would be superfluous, as well.

Should it not rather be:
Rule    Chile   1942    only    -       Jun      1      4:00u	1:00       S
Rule    Chile   1942    only    -       Aug      1      5:00u   0 	-
Rule    Chile   1946    only    -       Jul     15      4:00u   1:00    S
Rule    Chile   1946    only    -       Sep      1      3:00u   0:00    -

But when I look at the reference, 
http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
it does not contain anything about DST in 1942.
