recognize the underlying changes to the OS itself until restarted.
I dont know if this is true or not, but it worked for me.

Jim is correct.  A great many programs don't expect the time zone data
to change frequently and only read it once.  The best thing to do (or
to have done) is to restart your machines -- that ensures that all of
your processes (including SA) get restarted and get the new tz data.
