Thanks for the Troll station info
<http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2014-March/020705.html>.
Unfortunately, when I tried to encode Troll's unusual timekeeping
practices into standard tz data format (see attached file), the shell
command "zic test.tzi" complained '"test.tzi", line 8: too many
transitions?! (rule from "test.tzi", line 2)'. I guess this is some
sort of limitation in either zic or the tz binary file format. I hope
Arthur David Olson can find some free time to look into it.
