  java.util.SimpleTimeZone 11 args constructor and setDSTSavings handle wrong
cases when they are invoked with invalid DST offset: an int less than minimum
or greater than maximum value of Calendar.DST_OFFSET. They don't throw
IllegalArgumentException.

Here is a test demonstrating the bug.
---------------IllegalDSTOffset.java-------
import java.util.SimpleTimeZone;

public class IllegalDSTOffsetTest {

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    SimpleTimeZone tz = new SimpleTimeZone(0, "stz");

    try {
      tz.setDSTSavings(Integer.MIN_VALUE);

      System.out.println("Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown");
    } catch(IllegalArgumentException e) {
      System.out.println("Passed");
    }
  }
}

---------The test output--------
> java IllegalDSTOffsetTest
Failed: IllegalArgumentException is not thrown
