>Description:
        TZ data for Brazil in /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/southamerica
        is wrong. DST starts on next Sunday, but the system believes
        it has already started. The blame is on the Brazilian government,
        which changes the rules for DST every single year.
>How-To-Repeat:
        $ TZ=America/Sao_Paulo date
        Mon Oct 13 22:44:42 BRST 2003
>Fix:
        Merge the latest data from
                ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2003d.tar.gz
        it already has a correct "southamerica" file.
