Hello,

In https://launchpad.net/bugs/456322 it was reported that 2009o breaks
DST in Bangladesh:

$ zdump -v -c 2007,2015 Asia/Dhaka
Asia/Dhaka Fri Jun 19 16:59:59 2009 UTC = Fri Jun 19 22:59:59 2009 BDT isdst=0 gmtoff=21600
Asia/Dhaka Fri Jun 19 17:00:00 2009 UTC = Fri Jun 19 23:00:00 2009 BDST isdst=0 gmtoff=21600

So DST is not considered at all, and clocks are off by an hour:

$ LANG= date -u; LANG= TZ=Asia/Dhaka date
Fri Oct 23 12:30:57 UTC 2009
Fri Oct 23 18:30:57 BDST 2009

This is due to our glibc not understanding open end dates on DST
rules. This already happened when Bangladesh DST was introduced the
first time (https://launchpad.net/bugs/383444) and back then it was
discussed with upstream, who proposed to patch it to set an arbitrary
end date.

I did that for Ubuntu now by setting an arbitrary end date to Jan 1 2100
so that it works now:

$ zdump -v -c 2007,2101 Asia/Dhaka
Asia/Dhaka  Fri Jun 19 16:59:59 2009 UTC = Fri Jun 19 22:59:59 2009 BDT isdst=0 gmtoff=21600
Asia/Dhaka  Fri Jun 19 17:00:00 2009 UTC = Sat Jun 20 00:00:00 2009 BDST isdst=1 gmtoff=25200
Asia/Dhaka  Thu Dec 31 16:59:59 2099 UTC = Thu Dec 31 23:59:59 2099 BDST isdst=1 gmtoff=25200
Asia/Dhaka  Thu Dec 31 17:00:00 2099 UTC = Thu Dec 31 23:00:00 2099 BDT isdst=0 gmtoff=21600

$ LANG= date -u; LANG= TZ=Asia/Dhaka date
Fri Oct 23 12:32:53 UTC 2009
Fri Oct 23 19:32:53 BDST 2009

Thanks for considering,

Martin
