Description ben 2015-08-27 21:36:59 UTC

% TZ=Europe/London date -r 0               
Thu Jan  1 01:00:00 BST 1970

Clearly, BST is not the correct timezone. However:

% TZ=GMT0BST date -r 0      
Thu Jan  1 00:00:00 GMT 1970

And also surprisingly:

% TZ=Europe/Paris date -r 0 
Thu Jan  1 01:00:00 CET 1970

Which is correct.

This appears to be an upstream (tzdata) issue. Please ask there.

If the issue is FreeBSD-specific anyway or tzcode updates are needed, please reopen this bug.
