I thought I had. Oh well - here's a transcript of a session showing the
problem.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ zdump London
London  Sat Jul  3 23:32:51 2004 London
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ zdump GB    
GB  Sun Jul  4 00:32:56 2004 BST
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ zdump BST
BST  Sat Jul  3 23:33:02 2004 BST

There is no indication in here which of the three invocation of zdump
actually returned useful data. In actual fact, only the zdump GB returns
accurate data, the other two calls just return GMT, but not labelleled
as such.
