Paul,
I was out of the office for a week and a half and so I wasn't able to
get back to it until today.
I tried using 2018g and it still has the problem with tzupdater.
I am able to get it to work if I change the particular Japan rule in the
asia file to be:
Rule Japan 1948 1951 - Sep Sun>=9 01:00 0 S
I have not downloaded the source and built it locally, I manually edited
the data file. So my statement about testing was really about how to
test that Java has interpreted it correctly.
