JDK-4256581 - Solaris: incorrect platform to Java timezone mappings and/or incorrect timezone
Description

Name: skT88420			Date: 09/14/99


import java.util.*;
class WhatIstoday
{
public static void main(String arg[])
{
Date today = new Date();
System.out.println(today.toLocaleString());
}
}


Returns the date exactly 1 hour later than the current system
time.  The system TZ=US/Arizona which returns MST.  Changing
the TZ=MST7MDT seems corrects the problem.  Since Arizona does
not change times for daylight savings, this appears to be
problem.

java -version = 1.1.8
java -fullversion = JDK1.1.8M
