Thanks for the info; it helped me reproduce the portability problem, which is 
that mawk 1.3.3 does not support regular expressions like [[:alpha:]], even 
though POSIX requires support. The workaround is simple and straightforward, so 
I installed the attached patch into the development version, and it should 
appear in the next tzdb release.
