      java version "1.3.1beta"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1beta-b13)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1beta-b13, mixed mode)

      java version "1.4.0-beta"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b46)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4beta-B45, mixed mode)

      We think the date 9/9/1999 should belong to
      daylight time in Australia/Sydney .
      But the testing result is reversed.

      In merlin b46, there is a funny phenomenon. :-)
      9/9/2000 belongs to daylight time, but
      9/9/1999 and 9/9/2001 don't .

      In ladybird b13, 9/9/2000 , 9/9/1999 and 9/9/2001
      all don't belong to daylight time .

      so there are different behaviors in ladybird and merlin.
      It must be a bug.

      To reproduce the bug, try attached file
      TZ_inDaylightTime_y2k.java
