Package: tzdata
Version: 2008h-2

On Debian GNU/Linux (lenny), date command prints a UTC date
for 2037-12-01 in Egypt timezone as follows.

lenny% TZ=Egypt date -d 'Dec 1 00:00:00 2037'
Tue Dec  1 00:00:00 UTC 2037

I think "UTC" timezone is wrong.

date prints "EET" for 2036-12-01:

lenny% TZ=Egypt date -d 'Dec 1 00:00:00 2036'
Mon Dec  1 00:00:00 EET 2036

date also prints "EET" on Debian GNU/Linux (etch) as follows:

etch% TZ=Egypt date -d 'Dec 1 00:00:00 2037'
Tue Dec  1 00:00:00 EET 2037

I think the problem is caused by zoneinfo database because
zdump -v Egypt shows UTC timezone after 2037-08-27.

lenny% zdump -v Egypt|tail                   
Egypt  Thu Apr 24 21:59:59 2036 UTC = Thu Apr 24 23:59:59 2036 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

Egypt  Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC = Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038 UTC isdst=0 gmtoff=0

Debian GNU/Linux (etch) has no such problem.

etch% zdump -v Egypt|tail                   
Egypt  Thu Apr 24 21:59:59 2036 UTC = Thu Apr 24 23:59:59 2036 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

It seems several timezones, America/Santiago,
Pacific/Easter, etc., has same problem.

I can't reproduce this with 2009j-1 or later.  Please reopen if
you can.
