JDK-4069784 - TimeZone.getDefault() returns incorrect time zome.
Description

Name: mc57594			Date: 06/11/97


When using the Calendar and TimeZone classes, java returns 
Eastern Daylight Time dates with the default TimeZone, whereas
the Identifier for US/East-Indiana is IET, and Java is not 
picking this up from the OS.

This occurs on Solaris and Irix ( not your port ).
