EVALUATION Unlike previous tzdata versions, Mappings' excludeList is null with tzdata2000e. We should check if excludeList is null before calling excludeList.contains(). ###@###.### 10/15/04 07:51 GMT This bug affects zone info compilation even with tzdata2004d or earlier after 2004-10-17T00:00:00-0400. ###@###.### 10/18/04 02:24 GMT
