Summary: Timezone offset for America/Caracas is wrong

New Comment:
I'm rather confused by your bug: DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() doesn't
list offsets, and the code that does appears to be correct on any recent
PHP version:
<?php
$tz = new DateTimeZone("America/Caracas");
var_dump($tz->getOffset(new DateTime()) / 3600);
?>
outputs float(-4.5), which lines up with your bug.
What version of PHP are you running, what does phpinfo() list the Olson
Timezone Database Version as, and what do you get when you run the above
code?

Description:
------------
When using DateTimeZone::listIdentifiers() the offset for
America/Caracas is shown
as GMT -5:30, when it should be GMT -4:30
This can be validated here
