Incidentally, one of the problems with Unix timezones is exemplified
by IST.  IST can stand for Israel Standard Time, Indian Standard Time,
Iran Standard Time, and my personal favorite, Irish Summer Time.  I've
read somewhere that on at least one old Unix system (I can't remember
what or when), it was interpreted as that last one.  I can hardly
blame it though... who wouldn't want to spend their time in Ireland in
the summer, given the chance? ;-)

Can you tell I've had this problem before?  My employer has offices in
Bangalore...
