Dear Sirs,

I'm one of network administrators of Internet service provider ElCat
(http://www.elcat.kg/). We are place in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

We use FreeBSD 4.10 and 5.4 and we need to update time zone file
for our country.

Our government cancels daylight saving time 6th of August 2005.
>From August 12 2005 our GMT-offset is +6, w/o any daylight saving.

Please check my changes for zone Asia/Bishkek and rule Kirgiz in 
file /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/asia is correct and make the changes for use in 
the future:
