         Solaris supports two types of timezones:  POSIX timezones and zoneinfo
         timezones.  This patch incorporates the fix for "U.S. Energy Policy
         Act of 2005" for POSIX timezones, whereas Patch 122032-01 incorporates
         the fix for "U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005" for zoneinfo timezones.
         In Solaris, the default transition dates for POSIX timezones (when the
         transition dates for POSIX timezones (when the transition date is not
         specified) use U.S. rules.
 
         Note this patch does not include the fix for DST changes in 2006 for
         Australia.  Those fixes are in aforementioned Patch 122032-01, where
         the zoneinfo timezones for Australia are fixed.
