* northamerica (America/Cayman, America/Jamaica, America/Grand_Turk):
Change KMT from -5:07:12 to -5:07:11 (should be -5:07:10.41).
* zone.tab: Fine-tune geographical coordinates to match -5:07:10.41.
I chose the latitude to match the General Post Office, Kingston,
in the city center according to Google Maps.
