Thank you for the fix.  The problem I showed in the bug report seems
to be resolved.  But there still be a problem related timezone (I
dont' know whether it is the same problem).  With your patch, the
below code returns unexpected result.

(list (progn (set-time-zone-rule 0)
	     (current-time-zone))
      (progn (set-time-zone-rule "JST-9")
	     (current-time-zone))
      (progn (set-time-zone-rule "<JST>-9")
	     (current-time-zone)))

-> ((0 "ZZZ") (0 "ZZZ") (32400 "JST"))

I want it to return '((0 "ZZZ") (32400 "JST") (32400 "JST"))'.
