Bug#403245: tetex-bin: dvipdfm crash in some timezones

[Florent Rougon <f.rougon@free.fr>]

Hi,

Since I was proposing to upload a fixed tetex-bin package for #402763, I
took a quick look at the recent bugs affecting tetex-bin. Besides
#402763, there is one bug that makes me worry (though I don't care much
personally, not using dvipdfm):

  #403245 tetex-bin: dvipdfm crash in some timezones

However, in this case, the patch to fix the issue is more complex and I
cannot "certify" its correctness, though Martin Pitt reported successful
tests.

IMHO, we're a bit late in the release cycle to fix this bug, but
affected users may disagree.

Bottom line: if you do care about this bug, you'd better speak up *now*,
and have good arguments to convince the release managers.
