fyi, I am on this list, if anyone wants to tell me I'm way off base here or
whatever :)

something tells me I'm going to hit this problem again when our app gets
deployed at our plants in thailand and china and indonesia (and, no, I don't
yet know what time zone codes they use, I'm trying to figure out how to dump
the linux timezone files)

ok, on my redhat enterprise linux server, /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Bangkok
uses ICT which is defined.

however, mainland china, ugh.

CN Asia/Shanghai east China - Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai, etc.
CN Asia/Harbin Heilongjiang
CN Asia/Chongqing central China - Gansu, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, etc.
CN Asia/Urumqi Tibet & most of Xinjiang Uyghur
CN Asia/Kashgar southwest Xinjiang Uyghur

Asia/Shanghai Thu Aug 26 08:29:36 2004 CST
Asia/Harbin Thu Aug 26 08:29:36 2004 CST
Asia/Chongqing Thu Aug 26 08:29:36 2004 CST
Asia/Urumqi Thu Aug 26 08:29:36 2004 CST
Asia/Kashgar Thu Aug 26 08:29:36 2004 CST

so all of china uses CST, which is *NOT* CST as we know it here in North
America ;-/

*UGH*

(btw, thats the trimmed output of...
$ grep ^CN /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab
and
$ cd /usr/share/zoneinfo; /usr/sbin/zdump Asia/*
)
