Once again, my apologies for assuming that my esteemed colleagues had
done the responsible thing and MFC'ed their own work.

I have resolved this issue by going back and doing 3 1/2 years of MFCs
for tzsetup(8), which now makes it identical to the code in stable/8. If
you update your src tree and then update tzsetup you should no longer
experience this problem.
