More oddity.   Out of perfect clarity, total confusion:

    # date ; for i in EST CST MST PST ; do zdump $i ; done; date
    Mon Dec 29 11:55:09 CST 2008
    EST  Mon Dec 29 12:55:09 2008 EST
    CST  Mon Dec 29 17:55:09 2008 CST
    MST  Mon Dec 29 10:55:09 2008 MST
    PST  Mon Dec 29 17:55:09 2008 PST
    Mon Dec 29 11:55:09 CST 2008
