When I update my win 7 enterprise with the latest windows update, the bug can be reproduced. 7u67, 7u76: timezone ID: America/Bhhia Display Name: Brasilia Time In 8u40, the timezone ID is correct timezone ID: Europe/Minsk Display Name: Moscow Standard Time

When compiled with 7u67, the time zone printed is - Further-eastern European Time With 8u40, it says - Eastern European Time I never observed Brasilia time as reported by the submitter. Still passing this on for further review.
