FW: Bug in Australia/West timezone

[Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I'm forwarding this message from Matt Milliss, who is not on the time
zone mailing list.
Those of you who are on the time zone mailing list, please direct
replies appropriately.

I tried five recent versions of "australasia" and they all yielded a
March 30 transition in 2008.
All recent versions of "backward" link "Australia/West" to
"Australia/Perth."
It seems as if this is a twiki.org challenge rather than a tz database
challenge.
I've listed the "backward" and "australasia" versions I looked at below.

According to the tz database 
(http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/xtra/tzdate?tz=Australia/West) daylight 
savings in the Australia/West timezone ended on 11th March 2008 but the 
actual end date is 30th March 2008.
