What were you trying to do?

	ls -l, on a machine with no packs. [Servers are commonly
	in this configuration.]

What's wrong:

	It looks like the track file for the Sun was set up to
	put /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/US on local disk, and it does.

	The problem is that US/Eastern is a symlink to
	zoneinfo/EST5EDT, which is _not_ tracked locally. So I
	get GMT times instead of Eastern.

What should have happened:

	Testing. Otherwise the details will get you.
