      java version "1.3.1"

      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)

      class java.util.TimeZoneData is changing daylight saving at the last Sunday of
      August for Sydney\Australia. This was the case for 2000, because of special
      regulations for Olympic games. Now it should be last Sunday of September!
      see java\util\TimeZone.java:

      new SimpleTimeZone(10*ONE_HOUR, "Australia/Sydney",
                Calendar.AUGUST, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY /*DOW_IN_MON*/, 2*ONE_HOUR,
      SimpleTimeZone.STANDARD_TIME,
                Calendar.MARCH, -1, Calendar.SUNDAY /*DOW_IN_MON*/, 2*ONE_HOUR,
      SimpleTimeZone.STANDARD_TIME, 1*ONE_HOUR),
      (Review ID: 130704)
