This is a portability bug recently introduced to zic.c. I installed the 
first attached patch to fix it.

This appears to be another recent portability bug. It's related to a 
portability problem you reported on MS-Windows in response to which in 
2018d I committed a patch that introduced RESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS:

https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/24b45243c5210b4196987fdd06e6c288c358a268

When I recently added the randomish filename code to the development 
version, I neglected to deal with RESERVE_STD_EXT_IDS. The second 
attached patch should fix this issue.

Please give the two patches a try, as I don't use MS-Windows and can't 
easily test these patches on that platform.

That change is intentional, and was caused by this:

https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/ac07b446a3afaa4cb1ae11a91785a201c91f6351

along with some neighboring commits.


Thanks for reporting the problems, and I hope the current development 
version of tzdb addresses the issues you mentioned.
